In finance, partial delivery occurs when a broker or seller fails to deliver the full quantity of a security or commodity that is stipulated in a contract. For instance, if a contract requires the delivery of 10,000 shares of a stock, but only 7,000 shares are delivered, this would be termed as a partial delivery.
