3. Delivery Date (Article 33)

This provision, adopted in Vienna without further discussion, distinguishes the following three situations: first, there is an agreement on a fixed or determinable date for delivery; second, there is an agreement on a period of time during which delivery can be made, including contracts where the buyer can choose the date for delivery,[244] and third, there is no express provision regarding the date for delivery, in which case delivery must be made within a reasonable time after the conclusion of the contract.

The buyer need not accept delivery before it is scheduled (Article 52), but if he accepts, the seller has fulfilled his obligation to deliver. [page 66]
