Packing Slip

A document included inside a shipment that lists the items, quantities, and descriptions of the goods contained in the package.

More Than Just a Piece of Paper

The packing slip is the ultimate "truth" document in a box. It tells the recipient (and the warehouse) exactly what *should* be inside. For FBA sellers, having a packing slip is vital for resolving shipment discrepancies when Amazon claims they didn’t receive the full quantity.

Using Packing Slips as Evidence

If you ever need to file a reimbursement claim, Amazon will ask for proof. A professional packing slip that matches your labels and BOL is your best evidence. With modern tools, you can generate these slips with one click directly from your shipping data.
