Shipping Manifests

A shipping manifest is a document that lists all of the items that are being shipped; the shipper uses this document to track the items within the manifest and the re receiver uses this document to verify that all of the items have been received.

Some carriers require manifests when you hand your shipments over to them, during the collection process.
