Delivery Note
How to write a standard delivery note
A delivery note travels with a shipment and lists exactly what is inside, so the recipient can check the goods against it and sign to confirm they arrived. It is your proof that the order was delivered — separate from the invoice, which asks for payment.
This template opens with itemised lines. Add the sender and recipient, the items with quantities, a delivery date and a space to sign, and download a PDF delivery note to send with the goods.
What to include
- “Delivery Note” clearly labelled, with a number and date
- Sender and recipient names and addresses
- Each item with its quantity (prices optional)
- A reference to the order or invoice number
- A space for the recipient to sign on receipt
Note: Recipient checks and signs to confirm goods received in good condition.
Frequently asked questions
What should a delivery note include?
A clear “Delivery Note” label with a number and date, the sender and recipient details, each item with its quantity, a reference to the order or invoice, the delivery date, and a space for the recipient to sign on receipt.
Does a delivery note show prices?
Usually not — its job is to confirm what was delivered, not what is owed, so it lists quantities. You can add prices if you want, but the invoice is the document that requests payment.

What is the difference between a delivery note and an invoice?
A delivery note (or dispatch note / packing slip) travels with the goods and lists what is in the shipment so the recipient can check and sign for it. It usually shows quantities, not prices, and is not a request for payment. The invoice is the document that asks to be paid.
Turn delivered goods into invoices
A delivery note confirms what was shipped and received. When it is time to bill, the Invoices Tracker turns the delivery into an invoice and keeps your clients, payments and what is still owed in one place.
