Proof of delivery,
made plain.

How It Works · 10 June 2026

What proof of delivery actually is

Proof of delivery, usually shortened to POD, is the evidence that a consignment was handed over and accepted. In its fullest form it combines a signature from the person receiving the goods, a photo taken at the point of delivery, and a timestamp that records the exact moment the handover happened.

None of those elements is decorative. The signature names who took receipt, the photo shows the goods and where they were left, and the timestamp pins the event to a precise time. Together they turn a delivery from something you simply trust into something you can actually verify after the fact.

Why it matters when something is questioned

Most deliveries are uneventful, but the value of POD shows the moment one is disputed. If a recipient says a parcel never arrived, or arrived damaged, a clear record settles the question quickly rather than leaving two parties to argue from memory.

For business senders this is about accountability. A documented handover protects you against unfair claims, supports your own paperwork, and gives clients confidence that a job was completed properly. For anything valuable or time-sensitive, that audit trail is worth far more than the few seconds it takes to capture.

How REMUX Transport captures and shares it

On a dedicated run your driver records the handover at the destination and the proof is made available to you, so you are not left wondering whether the job is done. Because one vehicle handles your consignment from collection through to delivery, the record reflects a single, continuous journey rather than a series of depot scans.

If your work has specific requirements, such as a named recipient or particular wording captured at handover, it helps to say so when you book a same-day courier. Mention it up front and the brief is set before the driver sets off, so the proof you receive is exactly the proof you need.
