SUCCESSFUL DOCUMENTATION CONTROL
To finalize a successful auction, we recommend you request all necessary copies of shipping documents from the Seller directly and then again from your Freight Carrier. Require the Freight Carrier provide a signed POD for your records with certified scale tickets. Have your receiving department take pictures of the container back end when it arrives with the seal intact, take photos of products unloading. Suggested Document Packet from Seller should contain a complete detailed and legible Bill of Lading dated, signed by driver and consignee with seal # printed legibly, detailed product log dated with accurate weights and totals, 1 photo of empty container with license plate visible, 1 photo container half full with product, 1 photo container full, 1 photo with doors closed with adequate seal visible with all exterior container ids visible.
