=The Delivery Sheet.= After routing, the next step is to record the deliveries. In all modern stores, deliveries to each section of the city are made at stated hours. As a rule, the deliveries are entered on the sheets just prior to the hour for the delivery. Fig. 20 shows the form of the regular delivery sheet, which is used for cash and charge sales. This sheet shows the date, the name and address, number of packages, and sale number. The column at the extreme right is for the signature of the customer as a receipt for the goods. Whether or not it is either necessary or wise to attempt to secure the signature of the customer, is a disputed question, and probably depends on the class of goods delivered and the extent of the business. A jeweler who delivers a valuable piece of jewelry would be justified in demanding a receipt, but this would be unnecessary for a grocer. The shipping clerk in one department store gives it as his opinion that the signature is not necessary, and, for proof, points to a record of but two inexpensive packages lost in a year. [Illustration: Fig. 21. Delivery Boy's Call Tag] At the bottom of the delivery sheet, calls are listed. This refers to calls by the driver, where no deliveries are to be made. In a clothing or department store, it frequently is necessary to call for goods that have been delivered on approval, or on which alterations are to be made. The delivery sheets are put up in book form in duplicate. The original is perforated so that it can be detached, while the duplicate remains in the book. A book is used for each wagon, and each driver signs for his deliveries in the space provided for that purpose at the head of the sheet. The driver then takes the delivery sheet, placing it in a spring-back binder, and turns it in on his return. It is well to keep these sheets on file in the shipping room for at least a month--when it is safe to destroy them. When a call is to be made, a special tag is given to the driver to be attached to the package. This tag, which is shown in Fig. 21, gives the address, and any special instructions that may be necessary. When the call is for a garment to be altered, the person taking he call usually ascertains what is to be done, and writes the instructions on the back of the tag. In case no instructions are given in advance, they are usually given when the call is made--in which case they are written on the tag by the driver. When the package reaches the shipping room, reference to the tag shows what is wanted, and the package can be forwarded, at once, to the proper department. Carrying out the color scheme, the call tag should be of a special color to distinguish it from the delivery tag. =C. O. D. Deliveries.= Of special importance are C. O. D. deliveries. There must be a positive record which will make it possible to check every item at every stage, including all items collected. [Illustration: Fig. 22. Collect on Delivery Tag]
