Shipping Note
Shipping notes for moving Epson units to site, with handling, access and receiving checks that matter on local deliveries.
Delivery checks before dispatch
Moving an Epson unit to site goes smoother when access, unloading space and the person signing for it on arrival are agreed in advance.
A shipping note records the details that matter before an Epson unit leaves for site. It covers the delivery address, gate or loading access, contact person, receiving hours and whether tail-lift or extra hands are needed for offloading in Gauteng or Cape Town. That information helps the driver arrive with the right vehicle and the right carton count.
Include the model name, serial number if available, and every box that travels with the machine. Photos of the packed unit, pallet condition and labelled cartons are useful when equipment is received at a warehouse, studio or corporate building. On arrival, the note should be checked against visible damage, missing accessories and the signed handover.
What the note must capture
The completed document should show exactly where the Epson hardware is going and who accepts it on site. It is also the place to record lift access, stairs, parking limits, security check-in and any restriction on delivery vehicle size. Clear receiving details reduce delays when equipment is booked into busy premises.
Link the Shipping Note to the matching installation or demo arrangement before dispatch day. Confirm building access times, offloading point and the person who signs for the goods, then send any updates through the contact form. If the site has a loading bay booking system, add that reference to the note as well.
- Delivery address and receiving contact
- Lift access, stairs and offloading needs
- Carton counts and visible damage check
Receiving conditions on South African sites
Many delivery points have security desks, booked loading bays or restricted truck access that must be noted upfront. Some sites accept goods only during office hours, while others require the receiver's name, mobile number and company details before entry is granted. These details belong on the shipping note, not in a separate message trail.
Cape Town deliveries may need timing around wind and exposed unloading areas, while Gauteng sites often involve basement parking limits or warehouse yard procedures. If the destination has uneven paving, narrow passages or a goods lift with size limits, record it before the Epson unit is loaded. The driver and receiving team then know what handling method is required on arrival.

Shipping note details for Epson moves
Use the shipping note to capture delivery address, access hours, receiving contact, offloading needs and carton counts so Epson hardware reaches the right floor without confusion.
Use the shipping note when an Epson printer, cutter or related hardware is being moved to a customer site, demo venue or internal location. The note should travel with the job record so dispatch, delivery and receiving teams work from the same information. It is especially useful where multiple cartons, stands or accessory boxes are delivered together.
