piecemeal / bulk consignments
Explanation:
According to parallel Sw and En EU documents, partisändningar = "bulk consignments" (sändningar, not ändningar).

Not found any ref for styckesändningar, but seems therefore to mean individual units or piecemeal consignment

Explanation:
I'm sure about the "unit" and "lot" but not the "ändningar" could be a typeo ie "ändingar" = changes or modifications
