Frequently asked questions
What does a delivery note look like?
A delivery note shows the sender and recipient, a note number and date, the items dispatched with quantities, and the total quantity — as in the example above. It travels with the goods so the recipient can check the delivery.
Is a delivery note the same as an invoice?
No. A delivery note lists what was delivered so it can be checked against the order; it does not request payment. The invoice, sent separately, is what asks for payment.
