The Packing slip

A Packing Slip is a document included with a shipment that lists the items being delivered. It is used to confirm the contents of the delivery and ensure that the recipient receives exactly what was ordered. It typically includes shipping details, item descriptions, and quantities, and may also note any special delivery instructions.
