After you accept a shipping container quote, the sale should move through a written confirmation: the seller records acceptance and payment terms, allocates the specific unit or grade, completes and documents any modifications, reconfirms delivery access and equipment, schedules the carrier, and provides an arrival inspection and discrepancy process. Acceptance is not permission for unpriced substitutions or site assumptions.
Acceptance freezes a version, not every circumstance
Allocation turns a grade into a unit
Modification has approval gates
Delivery confirmation is a second decision point
Scheduling needs ownership on both sides
Arrival inspection happens before final placement where safe
Close the file after the truck leaves
After quote acceptance, manage exceptions explicitly
Turn acceptance into a controlled handoff
Confirm the quote version, allocated unit or grade, modification approvals, access plan, payment milestones and arrival inspection before dispatch.
