When you buy something, you don’t have to accept it in parts unless you’ve agreed to it. This means that if you order an item, the seller should give you the whole thing at once. They can’t give you bits of it at different times unless you’ve said that’s okay. It’s like when you order a pizza - you expect to get the whole pizza, not slices delivered one at a time. Remember, this is the usual rule, but you and the seller can make a different agreement if you both want to.
