What Is a Delivery Receipt?
A Delivery Receipt is a document that records the payment for the successful delivery of an item to a specific destination. Generally, delivery occurs between a seller and purchaser. The purchaser buys certain items from the seller who delivers them via full-time couriers or delivery service companies. This document is important for both the company and the client. The client receives a verification and proof of goods and services purchased, while the company gets a copy for in-house tracking and future financial references.

Delivery Receipts are used by millions of companies around the world to send their valuable merchandise through packages. They demand a signed Delivery Receipt to ensure the products were taken by the intended customer, safe and sound. Also, any individual may hire the services of a package delivery company to send valuables to some other place in the world. In this case, the recipient of goods may request a Delivery Receipt to have clear evidence of a transaction.
How to Write a Delivery Receipt?
A proper Delivery Receipt should include the following details:
- Name the company or individual who sends the merchandise. Add the name, address, telephone number, and email of the sender. To make the receipt more professional-looking and customized, you may print a company stamp or logo.
- Describe the items to be delivered. Any hand-delivery Receipt must have several lines to contain a proper description of the goods. Indicate the number of goods and the price of each one of them.
- Enter the address of delivery and the contact information of the recipient.
- Summarize the payment information. Specify the method of payment, add the delivery charge, and write down the total amount of money due.
- Add two lines for the signatures of the courier and recipient. The receipt must be dated, and sometimes it is useful to add the exact time of delivery.
Delivery Receipts are usually made in two copies - one is given to the recipient, while the other is kept by the courier who delivers the goods. The courier's copy must be signed by the recipient to confirm an item has been received and to be able to return the goods that are defective later. This means the delivery is formally acknowledged and may come in handy if any legal disputes occur in the future. A receipt can also be important for the company to record and monitor deliveries made as well as improve customer service and stay organized, so do not disregard a receipt and do not dispose of it immediately after it is signed.
