consignment

I have previously drawn attention to the cargo aboard Flight 370, which included a large consignment of lithium-ion batteries.

Originally, the Malaysians said that the battery consignment weighed 440 pounds.

To say that a consignment is “in compliance” with packing regulations is a mere fig leaf.

The Malaysian report gives no indication of any problem in loading the consignment—or, if there was, what action was taken.

Malaysian officials have confirmed that a consignment of lithium-ion batteries was in the cargo hold of Flight MH370.

Among the things she brought back—more as a curiosity than as an article of cargo—was a consignment of Chinese firecrackers.

The consignment consisted of 19 tons, and were sold by auction, mostly being bought by a local "fertiliser" merchant.

It seemed that the details of the trip to bring the consignment of furs across the border had been settled.

In 1842, I determined to make the venture of sending a consignment of brass clocks to Old England.

Pyne, who missed nothing, shook his head when it became evident that the last consignment was safely stored away.
