I got the following message from a book store:
I am extremely sorry for this lapse as I hurriedly sent you the book to reach you on time when I received the book from the Publisher. I will certainly ask for the replacement and would send you a fresh book. Please return the book to the following address on receipt of the fresh book
and I googled "on receipt" just to be 100% sure that I understood the message right. My googling resulted seeing examples like "in receipt" and "upon receipt". What is the difference between the three:
- on receipt
- in receipt
- upon receipt
or are they all synonyms? As for the message that I got from the book store, doesn't it mean that when I get the new book, I can return the old book? :)
Thank you for your help! English isn't my native language and that's why I'm not always sure about the meaning x)
