The bill must not be drawn or renewed after the goods have been surrendered to the purchaser or consignee.

It can be picked up at the door of the shipper and delivered at the door of the consignee, entailing only two handlings.

The consignee then gets possession of the order bill of lading, which entitles him to possession of the goods.
