Lieferbestätigung

Lieferbestätigung is a German term that translates to "delivery confirmation" or "order confirmation." It is a document or electronic message issued by a seller to a buyer, confirming that an order has been received and will be processed. This confirmation typically includes details of the ordered items, quantities, prices, shipping address, and an estimated delivery date.

The purpose of a Lieferbestätigung is to provide assurance to the buyer that their order is valid and has been accepted by the seller. It serves as a record of the transaction for both parties. For the buyer, it confirms what they have ordered and at what price, helping to prevent disputes. For the seller, it confirms the customer's intent to purchase, allowing them to proceed with order fulfillment.

A Lieferbestätigung is often sent immediately after an order is placed online or over the phone. It is a crucial step in the e-commerce and retail process, as it bridges the gap between placing an order and the actual shipment of goods. In some cases, the Lieferbestätigung may also contain information about payment terms or cancellation policies. It is distinct from a shipping confirmation, which is sent later when the goods have actually been dispatched.
