Waybill vs delivery note
They often travel with the same shipment, but they do different jobs. A waybill is a transport document that identifies the carrier, sender and recipient and travels with the goods; a delivery note lists the items so the recipient can check the shipment on arrival.
When you need each
- Waybill: for the carrier — proof of dispatch and shipment details.
- Delivery note: for the recipient — to verify goods received against the order.
