| Hi,
I have to include a VAT invoice with a package.
Does it have to be a printed one?
My printer is not working right now.
Thank you

As you say yourself, the invoice is to be included with the package.
So it must be printed and accessible from the outside of the package. Generally
it’s put in a transparent pouch.
Otherwise, what do you think “include an invoice with a package” might mean if
you don’t have a physical copy of said invoice? Write “the invoice can be seen
on https://…” on the package?

I meant can it be written by hand instead of printed?

Well, I don’t know that there’s a law that says it must be typed… but on the
other hand, I’m not sure it will be taken in high consideration. After all,
even printed invoices are sometimes not read.
Don’t they have printers/photocopiers in your post office or nearby?

No, unfortunately but I’ll try writing a clean one.
Thank you!

Now now, a bit harsh reponse don't you think? The OP meant it well.

So did I (meant it well, that is). From your reaction, I get now that someone
could read it as scoffing too but it’s just a genuine interrogation on what OP
meant by “not printed” (which I think is clear I took as “not physical” while
OP meant “written by hand,” as it was clarified in the next messages).
It’s the usual pitfall of written communication: the tone is missing and each
adds their own¹.
I’ll try to add more clues from now on.
(¹ Reminds me of this kid’s reaction just after seeing a Tintin movie: “It was
great but captain Haddock didn’t have the same voice as in the book.”)

Well, it could have been my mood of the moment that read it like such. No hard
feelings I hope

Hmm, I fear I wasn’t clear again: I meant each adds their own interpretation,
not their own current mood
Though mirroring is a common human default, I was not trying to say you were
doing it.

|
Nope, it was my fault for not being clear enough.
