These will give you a good idea of the content of the document before you buy it. We show you the explanatory notes that go with each contract and, in the case of books and forms, a brief summary. Whilst for obvious reasons we can't show you the actual item before you purchase it, we can do the next best thing. Note: where deliveries are made to a central receipt and distribution point (eg a central Post Room) and staff simply sign for the packages, they should always sign the courier's delivery documentation 'Goods received but not checked'. A protracted delay could also imply acceptance.
It is important that they are checked as soon as possible as a delay in advising of problems or your intention to reject the goods may reduce your grounds should a dispute arise over a rejection of the goods. This will acknowledge their receipt but not their acceptance. Where it is not reasonable to check the delivered goods/services the delivery note should be marked, 'Goods received but not checked'. If you receive a consignment of goods, either by a single delivery or partial deliveries, if any of the items are faulty and the others are acceptable, you can hold on to the goods that are alright, but reject the bad ones. Formal acceptance will not be until the actions, stipulated in the contract documentation, have been successfully completed. Here, the signing of a delivery note is simply acknowledging that the goods/services have been received. Within the contract there may be a requirement, for example, to commission the goods and complete acceptance tests prior to formally accepting them. If you are unsure, check with your Head of Procurement.
