What is a delivery note?

A delivery note accompanies a shipment and lists the goods and quantities being delivered. The recipient checks the delivery against it and signs to confirm receipt - a signed delivery note is your proof of delivery. It's also called a dispatch note or goods received note, and unlike an invoice it doesn't show prices or request payment.

For the full guide - what a delivery note is for, how it differs from an invoice and a packing list, and every field it should include - see our main delivery note template guide. This page is about creating one in Word.

How to fill out a delivery note in Word

  • Download the Word template above and open it in Microsoft Word (or upload to Google Docs / open in Pages).

  • Add your details and the recipient's delivery address.

  • Enter a unique delivery note number and the issue and delivery dates.

  • Reference the related order or invoice number so the delivery can be matched.

  • List the goods being delivered with their quantities - no prices needed. A delivery note records what was sent, not what's owed.

  • Keep the signature line so the recipient can sign for the goods.

  • Print two copies to send with the shipment (the recipient signs one and returns it as proof of delivery), or save as PDF (File → Save As → PDF) to email ahead.

Delivery note format - Word, Excel or PDF?

  • Word - best for a clean delivery note you'll print and have signed on delivery.

  • Excel - best when you're shipping a long list of items and want the rows easy to manage. (link: Delivery note Excel template)

  • PDF - best for emailing a fixed copy ahead of the delivery.

Tips for a professional Word delivery note

  • Always include the signature line - a signed delivery note is your proof the goods were received.

  • Reference the order or invoice number so the delivery can be matched to the right sale.

  • Number your delivery notes sequentially - Word won't do this for you, so keep a running log (or let Billdu number them automatically).

  • Print two copies - send both, and keep the signed one for your records.

  • Add your logo so your paperwork is instantly recognisable on the doorstep.

Delivery note Word FAQ

Do I need to include prices on a delivery note?

No. A delivery note lists the goods and quantities delivered, not prices - prices, totals and VAT belong on the invoice.

How do I get proof of delivery?

Print the delivery note, send it with the goods, and have the recipient sign it. The signed copy is your proof of delivery.

Can I convert my Word delivery note to PDF?

Yes - File → Save As (or Export) → PDF, then email or print the PDF.

Can I edit this template in Google Docs or Pages?

Yes. Upload the .docx to Google Docs or open it in Apple Pages - the layout is preserved.
