English term or phrase: for receipt

This appears in the following sentence:

Where settlement is by delivery (that is, other than by payment), such delivery will be made for receipt on the due date in the manner customary for the relevant obligation unless otherwise specified in the relevant Confirmation or elsewhere in ibis Agreement.

What does "for receipt" mean in this context? Thanks in advance.

so as to be received on the specified date

Explanation:
To say that the delivery will be made for receipt on the due date means that the delivery will reach the recipient on the due date. "For receipt" simply indicates that the delivery will be timed so as to be received on that date, bearing in mind that it could take more than a day, depending on the distance. So the delivery process will probably have to begin before the due date and must be timed so that whatever is delivered arrives and is handed over on the day.
