Proof of Delivery (PoD)

What is a PoD?

Proof of Delivery is a carrier-issued confirmation that a parcel was delivered. It usually includes the delivery date/time, recipient details/signature, service information, and the tracking number. PoDs are usually provided as PDF files.

Why it matters

• Dispute resolution: Resolve buyer disputes by showing carrier-confirmed delivery.
• Carrier claims: Support claims for lost/misdelivered packages with official proof.
• Record-keeping: Keep a complete audit trail of fulfilled orders.

How to use it?

How it works in RestocksAIO

• In the Sales → Account Sales grid, you can:
  • Use the PoD column button on a row to download a single file.
  • Select several rows and use Download PoD(s) to download in bulk.
• Downloaded files are saved under Delivery PDFs/ with the tracking number as the filename.
• The app updates the sale with a "Has PoD" indicator when the file is present locally.

Limitations & troubleshooting

• A shipment must be delivered. Pending items have no PoD.
  • Error you may see: “Pending Sales cannot have its Proof of Delivery downloaded!”
• Some services or regions may not provide PoD. Carriers can also delay it.
  • Error you may see: “Proof of Delivery is not available for this Tracking!”
• Check that the tracking number is correct and belongs to UPS/DHL/DPD.
• If the carrier site is temporarily failing, wait and retry.
