The point here is that Amazon only provides the sales receipts or the packages Come with the slip that is mostly pasted or may even be in a printed paper in the amazon bag inside which your package arrived.
Don’t get confused between Invoice & Receipt.
Many people that receive the sales receipt confuse it with the invoice of the package. This can be an issue because people may run into problems while performing the resale of the specified product with the sales receipt.
So, here is a detailed differentiation between an invoice and a receipt: –
Invoice- An “invoice” defined as a bill or tab is a commercial document issued by a seller to a buyer, relating to a sale transaction and indicating the products, their quantities, and their agreed prices that the seller had agreed upon with and provided the buyer.
It also states the payment terms in it.
Sales Receipt- Also known as the packaging slip,Sales Receipts is a slip that Amazon sends with its packages that contains regular info about the price and product without any relation to the buyer or seller.
Should you get worried?
No, you don’t have to get concerned if you did not receive the sales receipt. And this is because you do not need that. You don’t require the sales receipt for any sort of work related to your product or the price information.
What if I want a receipt?
Well, then furthermore there is no need to worry. First and foremost, you don’t need the receipt. You only want the invoice if you wish to do anything related to the product you purchased.
This is a problem because the Sales Receipt is not the actual proof of you purchasing the product.
