1 acknowledgement: An "acknowledgement of receipt" is an official confirmation of reception (for merchandise or a letter for example) sent by a recipient to the sender. This type of confirmation has a few names in English-speaking countries and is sometimes even called an "AR" (avis de réception). Other terms include "a return receipt" or "notice of receipt". Acknowledgments of receipt can be sent either by the recipient or by the postal service or delivery service (UPS, DHL etc) making the delivery. On its own the term "acknowledgement" describes the confirmation of something (an email or letter for example).
2 receipt: An "acknowledgement of receipt" is an official confirmation of reception (for merchandise or a letter for example) sent by a recipient to the sender. This type of confirmation has a few names in English-speaking countries and is sometimes even called an "AR" (avis de réception). Other terms include "a return receipt" or "notice of receipt". Acknowledgments of receipt can be sent either by the recipient or by the postal service or delivery service (UPS, DHL etc) making the delivery. Note that in a different context a receipt can also describe proof or documentation of a purchase.
3 balance: The "balance" of a sum of money is what remains after part of it has been deducted or paid. For example: I had 100 dollars in my account. After buying a 20 dollar book, the remaining balance of the account is 80 dollars. In Cheryl's order, it is specified that the remaining balance (of the total amount owed to the Delavigne Corporation) will be paid within 30 days of the delivery date of the merchandise.
4 working: A "working" (or "business") day is any day of the week in which people normally work. In the United States, these days exclude Saturdays, Sundays and national holidays. If a package is supposed to arrive in 10 business days, then it may take 14 days to actually arrive, as weekends aren't counted in the time of delivery.
5 billing address: A "billing address" is the address to which a bill or demand of payment will be sent. It may be a home or business. We distinguish "shipping addresses" and "billing addresses" because companies often have separate account and billing offices which manage payments and sales as opposed to shipping addresses (which might be warehouses for example). In Cheryl's order, the billing address is in Palo Alto, California.
6 null: The expression "null and void" is often found in the conditions of contracts, license agreements, warrantees and other legal documents. It describes the cancellation, or the invalidity of an agreement or document when certain conditions aren't met, or simply annuls the deal. In Cheryl's order, it is specified this order becomes "null and void" if the conditions for payment aren't respected.
7 void: The expression "null and void" is often found in the conditions of contracts, license agreements, warrantees and other legal documents. It describes the cancellation, or the invalidity of an agreement or document when certain conditions aren't met, or simply annuls the deal. In Cheryl's order, it is specified this order becomes "null and void" if the conditions for payment aren't respected.
8 delivery: A "delivery" date is the date upon which a "shipment" arrives (by air, ground or sea) at its destination. In Cheryl's letter she specifies a delivery date (October 31st) by which time she wants to receive the merchandise purchased from the Delavigne Corporation. Although Cheryl might not specify the "shipping date" (the day the items will be sent or "shipped" out), she is likely to specify the day she expects to receive the shipment from Delavigne. The conditions of payment also specify that Sheik Jafar will send one installment on the delivery date and the final payment within 30 days of the delivery.

In the article, the term "free-shipping" means
Excerpt: Free-shipping . . . offers are expected to increase before Christmas.
This is correct. In retail terms, "shipping" refers to the transport of goods to the home of the buyer. It does not necessarily involve a ship, and items may simply be delivered by post or with the retailer's own shippers or carriers.
This is not correct. In retail terms, "shipping" simply refers to the transport of goods to the home of the buyer. It does not necessarily involve a ship, and could simply be handled by post or the retailer's own shippers. Cruise holidays aren't very ecological, by the way, and the ships usually smell of sick.
This is not correct. In retail terms, "shipping" simply refers to the transport of goods to the home of the buyer. The expression "buy one, get one free" refers to a retail promotion in which consumers are given a bonus, getting two identical products but paying for only one of them.
This is not correct. In retail terms, "shipping" refers to the transport of goods to the home of the buyer. In this case, the buyer will not be charged for the delivery of the items he has purchased.

1 delivery: In this context, "shipping" and "delivery" are synonyms. In retail terms, "shipping" refers to the transport of goods to the home of the buyer. It does not necessarily involve a ship, and items may simply be delivered by post or with the retailer's own shippers or carriers.
2 shipped: "To ship" means to send or to transport. Note that, when used as verbs, "to ship" and "to deliver" are not synonyms: "to ship" means to send and to transport; "to deliver" means to carry and give to a recipient. For example: "your item was shipped this morning" means the item was sent out this morning; "your item was delivered this morning" means the item arrived at its destination this morning.
Esercizio 4
What does "next day delivery" mean?
What does "next day delivery" mean?
This is the correct choice. If, for example, you order a product online on a Thursday and the company promises "next day delivery", you should expect a visit from your postman on the Friday! Here's another example: "If you want next day delivery, there will be an additional charge of €8".
This is not the correct choice. "Next day delivery" means it will arrive at the customer's house the next day. When something is "dispatched", it means it is "sent", but does not necessarily arrive at the customer's home.
This is not the correct choice. A "delivery" means the buyer does not have to go to the store or shop to collect what they have bought. Rather, the order is sent by post or courier to their home or office.
This is not the correct answer. "Next day delivery" has nothing to do with paying for purchases.

1 noon: "Noon" is the best choice. "Noon" means "midday" or "12 o'clock" or 12.00 PM.
2 on hold: "On hold" is the right answer. To be "on hold" means to be "waiting on the line". In customer services we can often ask customers to "hold the line" if we are dealing with an enquiry or putting them through to someone else who can answer their questions.
3 shipped: "Shipped" is the term we were looking for. When an order is "shipped" it is "sent" to the customer. "Shipped" is usually used in the context of sending an order to foreign customers living abroad. However, things can also be shipped within one country, and they may not take a "ship" or "boat" at all! Example: "Shipping for this order within the US costs $6".
4 business days: "Business days" is the right answer. "Business days" are the days of the week we work. In many countries, this means Monday to Friday. We also refer to these days as "working days" or "the working week".
