A Notice on Receipt of Unacceptable Merchandise is a document that serves as a legal notification that a shipment of goods received by a buyer is not in accordance with the terms of purchase. This document states that the goods received are either damaged, defective, not as described in the contract, or otherwise not accepted by the buyer. There are several types of Notice on Receipt of Unacceptable Merchandise, including Rejection Notice, Return Request Notice, and Quality Complaint Notice. A Rejection Notice is used to reject a shipment of goods in its entirety due to it being unacceptable. A Return Request Notice is used to request the return of a shipment of goods that are unacceptable. Lastly, a Quality Complaint Notice is used to document an issue with the quality of the goods received.
