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.
