Documentation
For an intercity relocation, the bilty or lorry receipt is a key transport record. It connects the consignment with the movement of goods from origin to destination.
In detail
Depending on the transport arrangement, the document can identify the consignor or consignee, origin and destination, vehicle or consignment references and other transport details.
Retain a digital or physical copy with your quotation, packing list and invoice. It can help when tracking the paperwork associated with an intercity move.
The transport record can help connect the dispatched consignment with the destination delivery, particularly when several moves are being handled at the same time.
If the name, destination or other important detail is incorrect, raise it as soon as possible rather than waiting until delivery.
Worth knowing
A bilty is a transport document; it is not by itself proof that every item was delivered without damage or that an insurance or reimbursement claim will be approved.
