What is a waybill?
A waybill is a list that contains names of people and goods to be conveyed from one location to another. It is that book where you write your name before entering a bus. There is an air waybill, sea waybill etc.

Waybill cannot be verbalised.

I want to waybill some goods to you❌

If you are looking for a verb to replace 'waybill', here are two genuinely accepted words to use.

1. Freight (verb)
transport (goods) in bulk by truck, train, ship, or aircraft.

"the metals have been freighted from the city".

We freighted the cargo down to Port Harcourt.

freight is used when goods are quite bulky.

When goods are less bulky, for example, conveying clothes from Lagos to Enugu, or maybe you bought a phone from online stores, they don't waybill it, rather they dispatch it or courier it

Dispatch:
dɪˈspatʃ/
verb
1. send off to a destination or for a purpose.

In stead of saying,

Please waybill those materials to me❌

Dispatch the materials to me.✔
Courier the materials to me✔

Waybill is not exactly what you think it is.
Waybill and manifest are basically the same

I hope you learnt something new today cheesy cheesy.
I am King Ifey and I love to see you prosper

This is laughable. You think the Oxford English dictionary is wrong because they didn't define waybill like you chose to define it?

These definitions didn't say anything different and they didn't disprove your assertion that manifest and Waybill are not the same, rather they lend credence to my assertion.


You might have a problem understanding that a list is also a document. A document or list become a receipt once it has been received andby due confirmation has been made.

Even one of the definitions you posted called a list as well.

So, I do not understand what you are trying to prove anymore

I should be the one asking you. You came out and openly said that I was misleading people with my definition of waybill. I just went straight to the dictionary and got the reference, now you are acting like I was the one who said you were wrong. You started it all. So my question is, do you consider Oxford wrong?
