A bill of lading is a legal document that details goods being transported from a shipper or seller to the recipient. The bill of lading will include various information including the type of goods included in the shipment, the number of products, and the destination address for the transaction. This document should always be included in a transaction involving shipped products.
The bill of lading should be signed at various points throughout the delivery process. First, it will be signed by the seller, or the people who is shipping the goods. It will also be signed by a representative of the shipping company. Then, when the package is delivered, the bill of lading will be signed by the recipient.
A bill of lading protects the seller, the shipper, and the recipient. It will ensure that all the products are successfully delivered, and if there is a problem, the bill of lading can help you figure out where the problem occurred.
