delivery note

Goods arrival document

A delivery note is a document accompanying shipped goods that lists the items, quantities, and recipient details.

It serves as proof of delivery when signed by the receiver: The driver asked me to sign the delivery note.

Unlike an invoice, it typically doesn't include prices—it confirms what arrived, not what's owed.
