Part of a supply contract. I know Konsignationslager is consignment stock, but I'm looking for a neat way of translating the expression as a whole. I'd be grateful for any help.

Many thanks in advance.

drop shipment via consignment warehouse


Explanation:
The merchandise in question is taken out of a (customs bonded) warehouse for direct shipment to the customer, instead of being shipped from factory to customer. Consignment warehouses are frequently facilities operaterd by logistics (trucking) companies.

better still: drop shipment from consignment warehouse, NOT "via".
