after delivery Explanation: It seems strange that it mentions "periodo", maybe it should be "after". |

on delivery Explanation: i.e. same as "contra entrega". It's got to be. For example: "se abonara el 40% del presupuesto por adelantado y el resto a entrega de mercancía." http://bolsasdeplasticoypapel.com/terminos_y_condiciones -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 32 mins (2014-06-03 09:33:48 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- "Upon" delivery sounds a bit more elegant, now that you mention it. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 35 mins (2014-06-03 09:36:27 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- I think you'd probably say "payment on delivery", by analogy with "cash on delivery", which is a set phrase. On it's own, you might prefer "upon", like for example: "Payment terms: 50% in advance and 50% upon delivery". That would sound OK, I think. Though "on delivery" would be perfectly OK too. When you think too much about language it slithers away. You have to catch it unawares :) -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 36 mins (2014-06-03 09:37:20 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- GAA! On "it's" own! That's the second time I've caught myself doing that this week. This is getting serious. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 21 hrs (2014-06-04 06:01:59 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- I try to tell myself that with all the terrible things happening in the world it's stupid to get all worked up about an apostrophe, but to tell you the truth I find it pretty irritating. I'm not saying it would be enough on its own to stop me voting for them, but it doesn't help. |
