If the goods are physically put into the possession of the buyer, the delivery is effective. If the goods are shipped to the buyer or his duly authorized representative by the seller, the delivery will be considered authentic. The goods may also be supplied by anything which gives rise to the buyer`s possession [section 33 of the Sale of Goods Act 1930]. Constructive delivery (also known as symbolic delivery) is a replacement (or equivalent) of the actual delivery. It is a term used when the item was not provided by itself, but the symbol or sign of it is provided. Real delivery (actual, physical, manual) is a term opposed to constructive delivery. This article was written by Nehal Misra, a student at Nirma University, Ahmedabad. In this article, she discusses ideas about symbolic and constructive delivery. The supply of goods means the voluntary transfer of possession from one person to another. A delivery process is the purpose or result of such a process that results in the goods coming into the possession of the buyer.
Distribution may also take place if the goods are handed over to a person other than the buyer, who has the right to keep the goods on behalf of the buyer. There are different forms of delivery as follows: The goods can be handed over even if they take place without changing the ownership or custody of the goods. If a third party (e.g. a bailiff) who has the same time of sale accepts that the buyer is the owner of the goods on his behalf, the transfer is made by a lawyer or by de facto delivery (Article 36(3) of the Sales Act). For example, a case of distribution by a lawyer or confirmation would be a successful service. If you pick up a package on behalf of your friend and decide to keep it for them, it`s a constructive delivery. Symbolic transfer – A transaction in which physical custody is retained by the party, who in reality of the situation should not have possession.

For example, if a person wants to give a car to another person, they can do so by handing over the keys and all the documents that show the property. In real estate law, the transfer of a branch or cloud of land from the grantor to the grantor was a foreclosure livery, which was a symbolic transfer of the right to legal ownership or possession of land under land ownership.

Section 29(4) of the Sales of Goods Act 1979 requires the third party to grant or «acknowledge to the buyer that he holds the goods on his behalf» in order to make a supply of goods in the possession of a third party. Justice Phillips described as «known» that in the absence of such counsel, the mere transfer (from seller to buyer) of a third party`s warranty or receipt does not constitute delivery. Its decision was followed in Farina v. Home and Dublin City Distillery v. Doherty, who expressly supported this proposal. Section 29 (4) of the Sale of Goods Act codifies existing customary law. Therefore, it is logical to read the first part of section 29 § 4 of the Sales Act in such a way that it requires the involvement of a lawyer.
Phillips J.A. was therefore correct in concluding that, under general sales law, there was no implied supply of metals to Mercuria. Section 29 (4) of the Sale of Goods Act further provides that «nothing in this provision shall affect the issue or transfer of title documents in the goods». Therefore, distribution by moving a title document can succeed. Implied delivery refers to an act that automatically amounts to a transfer of ownership when the actual transfer is not possible. Implied delivery is a general term that includes all acts that, although not transferring beneficial ownership to the consumer, were held by the legal structure similar to actual delivery records. However, if there is no actual transfer of the goods or their symbol, implied delivery takes place, so that the conduct of the parties is inconsistent with any presumption other than the fact that a change such as the transaction took place. In Atwell v. Miller, it was held that implied disclosure is a question of mixed law and fact, and that the jury must establish the circumstances or facts necessary to justify such delivery, as is the case with actual delivery. Symbolic delivery refers to delivery by donation or sale of goods when it is inaccessible or cumbersome. Goods under symbolic delivery will be offered via a replacement item indicating the intention of the donor or seller and recognized as the representative of the original item. A token delivery is required if a seller has not sold the item under the circumstances or is designed in such a way that it is not susceptible to manual delivery.
In Springer v Lipsis, it was decided that symbolic delivery is necessary where mortgage products are of such a nature that they do not permit actual manual delivery. A symbolic transfer is sufficient to transfer ownership if the parties expect it. Symbolic delivery refers to the delivery of gifts or the sale of goods when they are inaccessible or bulky.

In land law, the transfer of a branch or piece of land from the grantor of the land to the beneficiary was a seisin livery, which was a symbolic transfer of the right to legal possession or possession of land by virtue of land ownership.

This method of distribution involves the delivery of something as a sign of a transfer of something else. Distribution can be symbolic if the items are heavy or bulky and unable to distribute them, such as haystacks in a meadow. Handing over the key to a warehouse to the buyer is a symbolic handover of the goods to the buyer and is as effective as the actual delivery, even if the ownership of the goods does not change.
Delivery involves the voluntary transfer of goods from one person to another. According to the Law on the Sale of Goods, the seller and the buyer are natural persons for whom such a voluntary transfer takes place. The seller usually delivers the goods to the buyer. However, delivery may be made to another person or authorized representative of the Buyer, in particular if the Buyer orders such delivery. Delivery can be made immediately or at a later date or under a condition that must be fulfilled. The Sale of Goods Act is the law that regulates the sale of goods in all parts of India.

Freight (physical goods) is mainly delivered by road and rail, sea and air networks. Some specialized products may be distributed through other networks, such as pipelines for liquid products, power grids, and computer networks such as the Internet or electronic information transmission networks.
