P.O.D. (Proof of Delivery)

Proof of Delivery, commonly referred to as P.O.D., is a vital document in the vehicle shipping process. It serves as formal confirmation that the vehicle has been delivered to its intended destination and received in the agreed-upon condition.

The P.O.D. is typically signed by both the driver and the recipient (or their representative) at the point of delivery. It includes essential details such as the date and time of delivery, recipient name, and any noted damages or discrepancies compared to the condition recorded at pickup.

At Interlane, the P.O.D. acts as the final checkpoint in the shipping journey. It helps ensure accountability for the carrier and provides a legal record that the service has been fulfilled. Customers are encouraged to inspect their vehicle thoroughly before signing the P.O.D., as any claims for damage post-signature may be more difficult to validate.

This document is often required for filing insurance claims or confirming fulfillment of dealership or auction delivery contracts. Interlane maintains digital and physical copies of P.O.D.s to ensure seamless support in any follow-up inquiries or dispute resolution.

In summary:

  • Confirms that the vehicle has been delivered successfully
  • Signed by both driver and recipient at the delivery location
  • Details include delivery time, recipient name, and vehicle condition
  • Acts as a legal document in case of disputes or insurance claims
  • Customers should inspect their vehicle before signing
