take delivery
Get the goods
To take delivery is to receive something that has been shipped, ordered, or promised—typically goods, merchandise, or assets.
The phrase implies a formal transfer of possession: We'll take delivery of the new equipment next week.
In finance, it specifically means accepting physical commodities (grain, oil, metals) at contract expiration rather than settling in cash.
