The file should contain the purchase order or accepted quotation, invoice, packing list when available, ordered SKU and option, expected pack hierarchy, expected carton count, delivery reference and any agreed evidence requirements. A product page or chat message alone is not a receiving specification.<\/p>\n<p>When the shipment arrives, record the date and time, carrier reference, number of outer cartons presented and the name or role of the receiver. Photograph all sides of the shipment before cutting tape if the condition or seals may matter later. If a carton is crushed, wet, punctured, resealed or leaking, capture a wide photo showing the whole carton and close photos showing the issue. Keep the shipping label visible in at least one evidence photo, while storing personal address data securely.<\/p>\n<p>This arrival record is different from the <a href=\"https:\/\/artifactvapor.com\/es\/lista-de-comprobacion-para-pedidos-al-por-mayor\/\">pre-payment wholesale ordering checklist<\/a>. The ordering checklist defines what should arrive; the receiving record documents what did arrive.<\/p>\n<h2>Use a four-layer receiving inspection<\/h2>\n<p>Inspect from the outside inward. Do not mix cartons, inner boxes or loose units from different delivery references while the review is open.<\/p>\n<div class=\"av-mobile-table\" style=\"overflow-x:auto\">\n<table style=\"width:100%;min-width:0;border-collapse:collapse;table-layout:fixed\">\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Layer<\/th>\n<th>Comprobar<\/th>\n<th>R\u00e9cord<\/th>\n<th>Mantener pulsado el gatillo<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td data-label=\"Layer\">1.

Match stable identifiers to the approved file. If the order file itself lacks an exact identity, move the shipment to hold and complete the <a href=\"https:\/\/artifactvapor.com\/es\/documentacion-de-verificacion-del-producto\/\">product verification and documentation record<\/a> before release.<\/p>\n<h2>Separate count errors from identity errors<\/h2>\n<p>Quantity discrepancies and identity discrepancies need different evidence. For a short or over shipment, count using the commercial unit defined in the order: sellable units, inner boxes, master cases or another agreed basis. Record both the physical count and the conversion rule. \u201cThree boxes short\u201d is ambiguous if the order never defined whether a box means an inner pack or a master case.<\/p>\n<p>For an identity discrepancy, copy the exact value printed on the received packaging and compare it with the approved order row. Useful fields include brand, exact model, supplier SKU, barcode, option, nicotine statement where applicable, batch or lot code, and master-case mark. Do not silently substitute a similar model, flavor, strength, package or barcode. A substitution can affect commercial, traceability and destination review even when the unit count is correct.<\/p>\n<p>Keep the delivered batch connected to the receiving event using the <a href=\"https:\/\/artifactvapor.com\/es\/vape-batch-traceability\/\">vape batch traceability workflow<\/a>. Traceability records where a batch went; this checklist decides whether the newly arrived batch should enter normal stock at all.<\/p>\n<h2>Apply release, hold, or escalate<\/h2>\n<p>Every receiving line should end with one visible status. Avoid labels such as \u201cmostly fine\u201d or \u201cprobably correct,\u201d which do not tell warehouse staff what they may do next.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\">\n  <img src=\"https:\/\/artifactvapor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/vape-shipment-receiving-decision-flow.webp\" alt=\"Receiving decision flow: preserve arrival evidence, match the order, inspect condition and identifiers, then release, hold or escalate\" width=\"1400\" height=\"900\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"><figcaption>Reusable receiving decision flow.

If one carton differs from the others, it can remain on hold while matched cartons are released, provided the physical and inventory records keep those populations separate.<\/p>\n<h2>Do not turn a damage check into a product-use test<\/h2>\n<p>A receiving desk can inspect packaging and visible condition, but it should not improvise battery, charging, inhalation or performance tests. The U.S. FDA accepts reports about tobacco products that are damaged, defective, leaking, contaminated or affected by battery problems. That official reporting route illustrates why an observed problem should be documented accurately rather than minimized or converted into an unsupported diagnosis.<\/p>\n<p>Lithium-battery transport rules and carrier procedures are fact-specific. U.S. PHMSA guidance states that batteries must be protected against short circuit and damage and places additional restrictions on damaged, defective or recalled lithium batteries. Do not send a visibly damaged unit back through ordinary transport based only on a supplier message. Obtain competent shipping and hazardous-material instructions for the route and condition involved.<\/p>\n<p>For EU-facing businesses, product-safety duties may require action when a business believes a product is unsafe or non-compliant. The European Commission&#8217;s Your Europe guidance points businesses to national authorities and the Safety Business Gateway. A warehouse hold is an internal control, not a substitute for any report, withdrawal or recall duty that applies. For UK operations, current GOV.UK guidance also emphasizes supplier records, invoices, delivery notes and records of checks. Use the country-specific rule set that applies to the receiving business and exact product.<\/p>\n<h2>Copyable vape shipment receiving worksheet<\/h2>\n<p>Copy one row per SKU, option and batch basis.

Include the order and receiving references, exact affected SKU and option, expected and received quantities on the same unit basis, batch or carton marks, when the issue was observed, and where the affected goods are held. Attach an overview photograph, the shipping label, every affected carton, relevant seals or damage, the identifier mismatch and the count sheet.<\/p>\n<p>State the requested commercial resolution separately from the observation. For example: \u201cExpected 120 sellable units; received 110 using 10 units per inner box. Two master cases were sealed and nine inner boxes were present in one opened case. Ten units are on hold pending reconciliation.\u201d That structure is more useful than \u201cone box missing.\u201d It records what was counted without inventing the cause or admitting a legal conclusion.<\/p>\n<p>Artifact Vapor&#8217;s public <a href=\"https:\/\/artifactvapor.com\/es\/envio-y-entrega\/\">shipping and delivery guidance<\/a> asks buyers to keep goods and packaging available for review and provide the order reference, affected quantity, packaging photos and clear evidence before returning anything. Do not dispose of, relabel or return the affected population until the responsible parties have agreed a safe and documented next step.<\/p>\n<h2>Preguntas frecuentes<\/h2>\n<h3>Must every unit be opened during receiving?<\/h3>\n<p>No universal opening rate is appropriate for every product, contract or risk. Define the inspection basis before delivery and record what was actually checked. Do not present a small sample as proof that every unit is defect-free.<\/p>\n<h3>Can a shipment be released when one carton is damaged?<\/h3>\n<p>Only if the affected population can be identified and kept separate, the remaining cartons match the order, and the responsible reviewer permits partial release. Any sign of leakage, heat, swelling, smoke, hissing or severe battery damage requires escalation rather than routine partial release.<\/p>\n<h3>Does a receiving checklist prove a vape is legal to sell?<\/h3>\n<p>No. Receiving confirms what arrived and records visible exceptions. Destination eligibility requires a separate, current review of the exact SKU, option, packaging, records, buyer role and market.
