Pickup date and sign on the courier receipt

Lisa,

I suspect that scanning the bar code is the electronic equivalent of a signature to imply receipt. I would question any document claiming to be a receipt which did not evidence receipt of goods/documents. Signature by the courier I would accept as evidence of receipt, but it is debatable whether other (e.g. electronic) indications of receipt would be acceptable under a LC, especially if eUCP were not invoked by the LC.

It seems obvious to me that the move from couriers' signature to scanning was done without thought of the consequences relating to letters of credit and probably without knowledge of LCs.

Dear Laurence,

Well of course the “move from couriers' signature to scanning was done without thought of the consequences relating to letters of credit”. These companies need to innovate and make it more efficient all the time. If they were to wait for the UCP … well then they would have to wait very long

Nice seeing you in Dublin.

Best regards
Kim
