Work with transport companies - power of attorney to receive goods and some other aspects

The power of attorney for the receipt of the goods will be required if you can not independently receive your ordered and already arrived cargo.

This service of transport companies is very convenient and easy to use. For some companies it is enough to write a power of attorney to receive the goods in the form of a transport company, others may require a notarized power of attorney from you. Therefore, other things being equal, it is preferable to choose a company for which it is sufficient to fill out a power of attorney to receive the goods on their form, since it is not always possible to quickly find a notary, not to mention that it can be done only during working hours.

If the power of attorney to receive goods is issued by a legal entity, then, without fail, the following requisites shall be indicated in it:

• Date of issue of power of attorney;
• The issuance of power of attorney;
• The term of this document;
• Data of the passport of the authorized person (receiving the goods);
• Requisites of the organization that issues the power of attorney;
• Printing of the organization ;
• Signatures: the director, the chief accountant and the individual who is trusted to receive the goods.

If the company's authorized representative is the company's general director, then instead of the above list he will need the following documents:

• His passport;
• The order of appointment and the minutes of the meeting of the founders;
• The seal of the organization.

Depending on the chosen carrier, you may need other statutory documents. For example, some transport companies require the delivery of a PSR certificate from the first time they receive the goods to individual entrepreneurs.

The person to whom you issue the specified document can come up at the convenient working time of the carrier, taking with him a power of attorney to receive the goods and his passport, and quickly receive your shipment.

First, you save your time (there is no need to break away from urgent business), and secondly, without any delays get your goods.

The form of the power of attorney to receive the goods is easy to find on the website of any transport company. You can easily print and fill it out yourself.

To fill out the form of the power of attorney it is necessary strictly in accordance with the documents (passport) of the authorized representative. In case of an error in the personal data of the specified person, he will be refused the delivery of the goods.

Often there are cases when the consignor incorrectly indicates the recipient's data (for example, an error in the surname). In this case, you will not be able to receive the goods or entrust its receipt to another person until the error is rectified. Only the sender can change the recipient's information, for this most transport companies will ask to write a letter in the form provided by the carrier.

In addition, recently, the direction of delivery of cargo to the house (office, warehouse) is actively developing, that is, you can order the delivery of the goods at a convenient place for you. Naturally, this service is not free, but in many cases the costs incurred are justified. The cost of this service primarily depends on the volume of cargo and the range of transportation. Sometimes the transport company carries out special actions providing for free courier delivery, or free delivery of cargo of certain dimensions (usually restrictions up to ... kg) are stipulated by the company's rules. Before you finally choose a carrier, pay attention to this point.

The shipper can order the delivery of the cargo to the consignee at the moment of sending the goods, or the recipient himself, but after the arrival of the goods in the branch of the transport company (to the specified city). The transport company may set limits on the dimensions of the goods being transported by delivery.
