What does a 1 week lead time mean in freight?

A 1 week lead time in freight means the consignment is expected to arrive 5 business days after the order is placed, assuming the booking is confirmed before the carrier cut-off on the order date. A booking placed after the cut-off shifts the collection to the following business day, extending the actual lead time to 6 business days from the original order date.
