A “Stop Off Fee” is a charge that may be imposed when a shipment is divided and delivered to two or more different locations instead of a single destination. When a shipment requires multiple stops or deliveries, such as when it is split between different delivery locations, the carrier may levy a stop off fee to account for the additional handling and logistical complexities involved. This fee covers the costs associated with diverting the shipment, making additional stops, and ensuring accurate delivery to each location. The stop off fee compensates the carrier for the extra time, resources, and coordination required to complete the multi-destination delivery, reflecting the additional effort and operational requirements compared to a straightforward single-destination shipment.
