be made to some other person or authorized representative to buyer especially
when buyer gives directions for making of such delivery. Delivery can be made
immediately or can be made at some future date or can be made according to some
condition, which is to be fulfilled.

actual delivery.
ii.

If
goods, which are being sold, are of such nature that their actual delivery is
very difficult and the goods cannot be moved from their place due to such
difficulty, but seller shows through his specific move or gesture that such goods
belong to buyer, such delivery is called symbolic delivery.
iii.

When
some change is brought about in possession of goods, which are being sold, but
