The process begins when goods are received from the shipper. This involves checking the shipment for accuracy, verifying that all items are present, and ensuring they are in good condition. Proper documentation is essential at this stage to confirm what has been delivered.

Once the items are received, they must be stored or handled securely to prevent damage or loss. This includes utilizing appropriate packaging, labeling, and maintaining the right environmental conditions, if necessary, to ensure the integrity of the goods throughout their storage or transit period.

Finally, the goods are prepared for handover to the designated receiver. This involves final checks to confirm that the correct items are being released, completing any necessary paperwork, and ensuring that the receiver acknowledges the condition of the goods upon receipt. Clear communication and documentation are critical in this step to avoid misunderstandings.
