Etymology
The term 'reshipping' combines the prefix 're-' meaning again or back, and 'shipping', which originates from the Old English word 'scip', meaning boat. The practice of reshipping gained popularity in the late 20th century with the rise of online shopping and international commerce. As e-commerce expanded globally, consumers found that many retailers did not ship to certain locations, prompting the need for reshipping services. Companies emerged to fill this demand by offering solutions to redirect packages from restricted areas to desired destinations. This has led to an increase in the use of forwarding addresses and services that specialize in reshipping, making it an integral part of modern online shopping.
