Selected answer:portion or batch
Explanation:
When you place an order, the goods may come in several batches or portions instead of a single lot; the goods can be a collection of many parts, portions or batches, which can be treated as a whole or as contituent parts.
So the point here is that "Goods" can mean all you ordered as a whole or any parts thereof.

Explanation:
Something that belongs to the goods. Example: You buy an MP3 player (thats the goods - the article you buy). You also buy headphones to that MP3 player. That's the instalment.

Perhaps it means "episode". Let's say you buy the Harry Potter books (or films) - the whole series. You also order the next episode, which has not been published yet, so that you will receive that episode as soon as it's in sale. That last episode could be the instalment.
