On what terms do you want to receive those goods?

It could be a question about terms and conditions of delivery/receipt.

Pierce, are you asking about time or terms of delivery?

Thanks for correcting my mistake with "a quesion" but I still don't grasp why ther must be "a". At the moment when I write my post I know what question I want to submmit for checking. So this is defined "question". Is there any rule that would explain why I should use "a" in this case?

I am asking about time but not about the hour but date. For example the client will answer that he wants those goods to be delivered on 4 of September after noon. Question "What time ..... " looks like asking about hour. In my language we ask about "term" which means date and as I checked in dictionary one of the meanings of "term" in English is also date.

In British English 'term' does not normally mean 'date'. You need to ask, "What date do you want us to deliver those goods?" If you use the word 'term' your British customer will not understand.
