Consignment Notes for Packers and Movers

A loaded lorry leaves with papers, and those papers decide what happens if goods go missing. The consignment note is raised from the move file and stays joined to it.

What the note carries

Consignor and consignee

The family or company sending the goods, the person receiving them, and the phone number at each end.

Both addresses and the route

Pickup and delivery addresses, the cities between them, and the expected day of arrival at the destination.

Package count

Cartons, crates and loose articles are totalled from the packing list, so the figure on the note matches what was loaded.

Declared value

The value the customer declares for the consignment, recorded as stated. The surveyor does not value the goods.

Vehicle and driver

Registration number, driver name and licence reference, with the contractor shown where the vehicle is a hired one.

Papers held with the move

Transit papers travel with the lorry, but a copy belongs in the office. Scanned copies and photographs are attached to the move, which means the desk can answer a question without calling the driver. Where the customer has taken cover for the goods, the consignment record also carries the policy reference and the insurer’s name. What that policy pays, and on what terms, stays between the customer and the insurer.

Who uses the note later

Delivery crew

The package count on the note is what the crew tallies against at the new address before taking a signature.

Accounts

The note number goes on the invoice, so a corporate client can match a bill to a consignment without asking anyone.

Claim handling

A claim quotes the note number, the declared value and the package count, and the attached copies are read along with the delivery tally.

What this module does not claim

  • The wording and terms printed on your note are your own
  • Any statutory paper a vehicle must carry is for you and your advisor
  • Cover is bought from an insurer, not arranged here
  • A note is raised only after loading, never before
FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Can the note print on our own format?

Yes. Your existing layout and terms are set up during implementation, and the fields come from the move file.

Does the package count fill itself?

Yes, from the packing list. The supervisor can correct it at loading, and the change stays visible on the record.

Where is the policy number kept?

On the move, beside the note. What the insurer accepts is a matter between the customer and that insurer.

Can a scanned signed copy be attached?

Yes. A photograph taken on a phone is enough, and it stays with the move for later reference.
