Delivery note

The delivery note is actually a voucher for the item sold between the seller and the buyer (customer). For example, if merchant A sells something to merchant B, merchant A will issue a delivery note to merchant B. Then merchant A asks merchant B to sign for it; of course, he can also ask merchant B to issue a receipt
The delivery note is an important proof that the consignee signs the goods, and it is the key evidence that can determine the success or failure of the lawsuit in the case of contract arrears.
The consignee on the delivery note must be accurate
If the enterprise is the consignee, the other party shall be required to affix the official seal on the delivery note. The contract between the two parties shall stipulate the consignee (the name shall be stated in the contract, and the authorization letter of the receiving company and the signature form of the person shall be provided). It is easy to make mistakes in practice. The receiving company often does not stamp the receipt, but just assigns the employees in the warehouse to sign on the delivery note. This situation is common, but there are risks: if you are collecting the payment In the lawsuit of Party B, he denied that he had received the goods, and that the person signed on the delivery note was his own employee, and the labor contract between the receiver and the employee has not been verified by the labor department or they have not signed a labor contract, then the delivery People will not be able to prove that the person who signed the delivery note is the employee of the consignee. In the absence of other supporting evidence, they must bear the responsibility of failing to prove the evidence, leading to the loss of the lawsuit.
Goods name, specifications, unit price, etc. must be clearly written
The name, model, specifications, unit price, quantity, and quality grade of the goods are the specific attributes of the object of the transaction between the two parties. The delivery party should not be too troublesome and fill it out carefully. The clearer these attributes are, the more it can occupy in the lawsuit Favorable position.
The unit price cannot be ignored, especially in the absence of a written contract between the two parties. The unit price on the delivery note will become direct evidence of the determined price. If the delivery note is not filled in, the court's determination of the unit price will likely follow the market. The price is determined, and due to the influence of time and regional and market price fluctuations, the identified price may differ greatly from the actual agreed price, which often causes a great loss to the delivery person.
