| How
to fill in City-Link’s consignment note |
The consignment note, or house air waybill, is a
ticket which contains all necessary information
on the shipment for City-Link to perform a
successful delivery. It tells us where the
shipment is going, who is receiving it, and how
do we contact the recipient. It tells us which
service of ours you are using, the descriptions
of the shipment and any special instructions
required. It is also a proof for the shipment,
and the consignment number can be used to track
your shipment on our website.
This is how a consignment note looks like:
When filling a City-Link consignment note,

consignment note, preferably with a ball-point
pen. To ensure the readability of the
