When the ordered goods are ready, they will be delivered to the buyer. The buyer will be asked to sign a delivery docket as proof that the goods have been received. This docket is often shown to the customer on an electronic pad, which can be signed.
Example
Zone Fitness receives the goods ordered within three working days. Leanne Crosby, the purchasing manager for Zone Fitness, checks that all the goods ordered have been delivered. She then signs the delivery docket. The docket is kept on record by Gym Supply as proof of delivery.
The goods listed were delivered to the above address on this date.
Signed: Leanne Crosby Signature of customer
