AvoDelivery Receipt Template (Free Fillable PDF)
A delivery receipt does two jobs at once: it proves the goods arrived, in what quantity and condition, and it records what the customer paid for the delivery. Couriers, furniture and appliance deliverers, florists and anyone delivering their own products use it to close the “it never came” and “it came damaged” conversations before they start.
Free, fillable, US Letter. No email, no sign-up. The template has a signature and condition line next to the items, so the recipient confirms receipt on the same page that shows the charge.
What the PDF looks like. Hints in the line table show what a courier usually receipts; type over them.

Questions
What is a proof of delivery receipt?
A document signed by the recipient confirming what arrived, when, and in what condition. This template is one; the signature and condition lines are what make it proof rather than just a charge receipt.
Do I need the recipient's signature on a delivery receipt?
For proof of delivery, yes. If nobody is home and the goods are left, note where and photograph them; write “left at door, photo on file” on the signature line.
Should the delivery receipt show the price of the goods?
Only if you sold the goods as well. A courier delivering for a third party lists the items and the delivery charge, not the merchandise value, unless the shipper asks for it for insurance.
What if the client paid part of the amount?
Issue a receipt for the amount actually received and show the balance remaining on it. When the rest arrives, issue a second receipt that references the first.
