Packing Slips

Last Updated: April 1, 2025

A packing slip is a document describing the return shipment’s contents. 

The packing slip contains a separate line item for each item shipped. Each line item states the product number, product description, and unit quantity shipped. 

You can configure whether to include the packing slip or not per return method.
