livrarea

Livrarea is the act of delivering goods or services from a seller to a buyer. In logistics and commerce, it encompasses the processes by which products are transferred from the supplier to the purchaser, including transfer of possession and, depending on contract terms, risk. In Romanian contracts, the data livrării or livrarea specifies when delivery occurs and when obligations are discharged.

The noun is derived from the verb a livra, borrowed from French livrer, meaning to deliver.

The delivery process typically includes order processing, picking and packing, transportation, and delivery to the recipient, with confirmation or signature as proof of delivery. Delivery documents such as aviz de livrare or confirmare de livrare accompany shipments. Types of delivery include livrare la domiciliu (home delivery), livrare în magazin (store pickup), and courier or postal service deliveries.

In sales contracts, delivery marks the point at which risk transfers; ownership may transfer under terms and applicable law. Consumer protection and e-commerce regulations govern delivery times, the right to rescind, warranties, and liability for late or damaged deliveries.

Current trends in livrarea emphasize last-mile efficiency, real-time tracking, sustainable packaging, and the expansion of e-commerce-driven delivery networks.
