A consignment note is a delivery process note that contains the information about sender, recipient, shipment measurements, weight and number of items in the consignment. A consignment note can either be a paper note or a digital receipt.

A delivery note is not a part of the consignment note. A delivery note includes information about the content of the shipment.

The Kaukokiito chain stopped using paper consignment notes in February 2020. The paper consignment note has been replaced with a digital one. For the time being this does not apply to transport of dangerous goods where paper consignment notes are still needed.

If you would like to receive a digital consignment note, you can give the driver your email address once you have received and signed for the delivery. The driver registers your email address in a mobile device and sends you an email with a link to the digital consignment note. You can access a PDF copy of the consignment note through the link in the email.

If you have registered to our online order system Kaukoputki, you will find the consignment note in there as well. In Kaukoputki you are able to search consignment notes with different search criteria, such as date, recipient and the number of the consignment note.

You can access Kaukoputki by registering as our business customer.

If you have already registered as a business customer, you can log in to Kaukoputki with your own login credentials here.

A digital consignment note contains the same information as the paper version, but it is only accessible in a digital form. If you wish, you can print out the digital consignment note that has been sent to your email.

A digital consignment note can be sent to the email address given by the recipient at the moment of delivery. We are developing our service by adding a predictive, automatic function that allows the system to send the digital consignment note to the email addresses added to the order.

You should make an agreement with the sender about them delivering the delivery note to you either electronically or as a paper copy attached to the delivery.

You may ask the driver to check that the delivery information corresponds with the information on their mobile device.

At the moment it is only possible to obtain a digital consignment note by requesting one at the moment of receiving the delivery. We are, however, currently developing our service by adding a predictive automatic function.

If you detect any flaws or defects in the delivered goods, you should register these in Kaukokiito’s reservation form before signing for the delivery. After this, you should proceed to send a reclamation to the original sender.

If the delivery is in good condition on the outside of the parcel but you find defected goods inside, you should send us a written notice as soon as possible and no later than 7 working days from receiving the faulty goods. Remember not to dispose of the faulty goods without a specific permission from Kaukokiito, so that the goods may be examined if required. Find specific instructions here.

It is possible to receive all of the consignment notes in one email address, however, at the moment all of the shipment information emails arrive separately.
