At the time of (the) delivery of the product
"At the time of delivery of the product, the seller's full name, address and telephone number should be made available to the consumer."
Is it possible to put "the" before "delivery" in the above sentence? Does it change the meaning of the sentence? Can I understand that "the time of delivery" almost sounds like "one word" and that's the reason "the" is missing before "delivery"?
