The arrival acceptance should distinguish three levels: outer packaging status, product quantity and function inspection. First determine who will receive the goods, who will record the goods, and who will contact the relevant parties, and then map the observed situation to the specific box number; a recent photo of damage usually cannot explain at what point the goods have changed.

Designated recipient and scope of inspection before shipment

Provide the recipient's name, contact information, delivery location and expected reception arrangements to the person responsible for end delivery. Make it clear who checks the number of packages, who is responsible for unpacking, and who has the authority to confirm the handling of discrepancies. For equipment that requires professional installation, appearance acceptance and functional acceptance shall be arranged separately; for items that cannot be inspected on the spot, the reasons and follow-up person in charge shall be stated.

Record the whole thing first, then record the abnormal parts

When on-site conditions permit and it is safe, first take pictures of the entire package with the box number, visible outer packaging and sealing status, and then take pictures of the affected parts. Record date, time, location and whether items were moved or unpacked prior to inspection. Do not re-seal the box or pose for photos in order to retake the "original state"; if it has been opened, record it truthfully.

  • Shipping number, box number and label, avoid taking recent photos without identifying information
  • The location and extent of visible dents, tears, and moisture marks
  • Fixing, filling and accessories placement when unpacking
  • Original photo files and corresponding inspection stages for each photo

Fill in appearance, quantity and performance separately

Check the final packing list box by box and record the model number, quantity and accessories. An intact outer box does not prove that the internal functions are normal, and traces on the outer box alone do not prove that the equipment is damaged. Inspections that have not been carried out are marked as not inspected; items that require power on, disassembly or load testing should be handled by people with corresponding capabilities according to the confirmed plan, and warehouse photos will not be used as a substitute for inspection.

After discovering anomalies, form a verifiable problem ticket first

For example, if one corner of wooden box A is dented, but the equipment has not been unpacked, you can write "The outer packaging of box A is dented and the internal condition has not been checked." Do not directly write "The equipment is damaged during transportation." Mark affected parts separately from normal parts; retain packaging and original records without affecting safety, and contact the responsible party to confirm follow-up inspection, transportation or return arrangements. When it comes to damaged electrical equipment, do not energize the test yourself.

Submit the report to the corresponding person in charge and record the next step

Send the order number, box number, actual observations, photo catalog and questions you want to verify, and record the recipient, work order number and agreed feedback time. Shipping anomalies, supply discrepancies, and product performance issues may require the involvement of different personnel. The applicable notification period, receipt record format and processing conditions should be confirmed with the contract or service counterpart; sufficient records do not mean automatic refund or compensation. You can use the supporting arrival exception list when making inquiries.
