Proof of Delivery for International Shipments
When you send a parcel overseas, knowing that it has reached the recipient is just as important as sending it. Proof of Delivery for international shipments gives you a record of the completed delivery and helps you stay informed about your shipment even after it leaves your hands.
With Atlantic International Express, you get electronic proof of delivery. Wondering what electronic proof of delivery is? It is a hassle-free method of sharing the delivery confirmation with the sender. In this process, we send delivery updates to the sender through SMS, email, and WhatsApp, so you can easily know when your parcel has been delivered. No need to wait for the physical acknowledgement of parcel delivery.
What Does Proof of Delivery Mean?
Proof of Delivery, commonly called POD, is a delivery record that confirms a shipment has reached the recipient. It may contain details such as the recipient’s name, delivery date, delivery time, and other information related to the completed delivery.
POD is useful for both individuals and businesses. You can use it to keep a record of an important parcel, while businesses can use it to confirm that an order or document has reached the customer. For international shipments, it provides a convenient way to keep track of the final stage of delivery. At Atlantic, we provide ePOD (Electronic Proof of Delivery) to our customers by sending updates of successful delivery on their phone via SMS, email, or WhatsApp, whichever is convenient for the sender.
What Information Does a Proof of Delivery Include?
This delivery confirmation receipt generally contains details such as,
-
Shipment or AWB number
-
Receiver's name
-
Delivery date
-
Delivery status
-
Delivery address or location, where available
-
Receiver's signature or confirmation, where applicable
These details help you keep a record of when and where your parcel was delivered. However, the information can vary depending on the courier service and destination.
Proof of Delivery vs Bill of Lading
Proof of Delivery and Bill of Lading are both used in international shipping, but they have different roles.
Proof of Delivery (POD) document is a record or a template that shows the parcel has been delivered to the recipient. It is provided only after the parcel from India has reached the recipient abroad.
Bill of Lading (BOL) is a document that is prepared when goods are handed over to the courier. It contains important information about the shipment, such as who is sending it, who will receive it, what is being shipped, and where it is going.
In simple words, the Bill of Lading is used when the shipment starts its journey, while the Proof of Delivery confirms that it has reached the recipient.
