Final checklist

Before handing over the parcel, verify:

• the item was documented before packing;
• accessories are counted and separated;
• no internal movement can be detected;
• vulnerable areas are kept away from outer walls;
• the box is sound and correctly sealed;
• final weight and dimensions are verified;
• the service is compatible with the contents and value;
• the label is correct and readable;
• the sealed parcel has been photographed;
• the receipt and tracking record will be retained.

If an important point is unresolved, correct it before carrier handover.

On receipt:

1. inspect the outside of the parcel;
2. photograph any damage before opening;
3. open without destroying the packaging;
4. verify the item and accessories;
5. compare condition with the listing and documentation;
6. perform the appropriate functional checks;
7. keep boxes and protective materials until everything is verified;
8. promptly report any issue through the applicable procedure.

A methodical delivery check helps preserve evidence at the moment it may matter most.
