How a request works
Receiving is not an automatic product inspection or shipping authorization. Tell us which cartons to hold and which work needs your approval.
Three steps
- Tell us what is arriving. Type a few supplier notes, attach a list, or ask for help.
- Confirm the receiving plan. We clarify references, arrival timing and photo or packing requests.
- Review before release. Keep goods traceable and approve the agreed handling and release.
What to have ready
- Supplier names or order references, if known
- Goods and expected parcel counts
- Arrival dates or domestic tracking when available
- What to photograph, keep sealed, hold or repack
Missing a detail? Mark it as unknown. The team can explain what is needed before confirming the next step.
What a clear proposal separates
Illustrative scope checklist—not a live quotation or a list of included services.
- Receiving
- Confirm which supplier parcels are expected and how they will be identified.
- Photos or checks
- Specify what should be photographed and the limits of the check.
- Storage
- Confirm the charge basis and how your arrival dates affect it.
- Packing or consolidation
- Authorize opening, sorting or packing as specific work.
- Outbound movement
- Agree the release and shipping arrangement separately.
Keep the receiving instructions with your request
A complete instruction should identify the receiving address, your reference, which parcels are expected and any agreed handling. The team confirms these for your shipment; an example is not permission to dispatch.
Reference: SAMPLE-ONLY
Supplier: Seller A · Expected: 2 cartons
Tracking: not available yet
Instruction: hold for review before repacking
If something needs to change
- Before dispatch: confirm any change to goods, dates, carton sizes or destination.
- Tracking says delivered but receiving is unclear: keep the seller order, tracking number and delivery evidence together.
- The form times out: retry the same request. Do not assume it failed or send a different request immediately.
Keep your on-screen reference when following up. If a special check or route is needed, ask for its scope before approving it.
