A small producer should choose delivery channels by label instructions, route and actual dwell conditions. Compare courier and hand delivery using records, not assumptions.
Trace from order to receipt
Link order number to product and lot, production or packing time, package type, dispatch, transfer and receipt times. Record recipient and product/package condition; file any logger report with the lot record.
For representative shipments, track packing method, ambient conditions, waits and actual delivery time. Confirm storage and transport instructions with the supplier or quality lead; one successful delivery does not prove ongoing suitability.
For a complaint or delay, segregate the affected lot and comparable shipments and preserve records. Decide customer response and product disposition with the authorised quality lead. Verify local sales and business requirements with the competent authority.
