I have not worked in Europe in many years now, but in North America, pro forma invoices are required to be on the outside shipping documents of every package that crosses a border. Therefore they are available to the casual handler. Now, the pro forma invoice is not a complete invoice, it doesn't contain certain private information like phone numbers, but it does most certainly contain the invoice number of the corresponding full invoice. In fact, it is illegal not to do so. Therefore invoice numbers are effectively public, and you are incorrect to assume they are private or in any way priviledged. Perhaps the EU treats this differently. But I work in manufacturing in North America and I deal with this stuff every day. I know what information we put on packages, and I know that, if the driver has access to it, it isn't private. Saying something is private when it demonstrably is not accomplishes nothing. -- Michaelwagner ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Michaelwagner's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=428 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=18223 _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
