Recipient checklist when the item arrives

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.
