Marketing / alcohol sales
French term or phrase: remise/remettre
I'm still looking for an English work that will cover SELLING and HANDING OVER, which I believe REMETTRE includes. It has to be non-specific between selling/serving/delivering.

sold or served


Explanation:
I don't think you'll find one word in English to cover both, but I also don't think you need to. If your context indicates that you need to cover both situations, the above should work just fine.

deliver


Explanation:
how about just using "deliver", which combines the notion of fulfilling a contract (of sale) with the act of handing over.. or else say "to sell and deliver (to)"

full sales service


Explanation:
the full sales package

complete sales service

taking into account selling, handing over, delivering, after sales service, customer services.

I don't think you will find one word to describe the full service.
You need to choose a pair as mentioned above, or go for something a bit vague but all encompassing (even listing the elements of the full service in brackets if need be).
