Crossword Genius

Shifts dodgy consignments (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

offloads

'shifts' is the definition.

'dodgy consignments' is the wordplay.
'dodgy' becomes 'off'.
'consignments' becomes 'loads' ('load' can be a synonym of 'consignment').
'off'+'loads'='OFFLOADS'

(Another definition for offloads that I've seen is " Gets rid of".)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
