disagree Kim Metzger : No reflexive in English: we reserve the right - not reserve ourselves. This answer is also completely wrong. http://www.proz.com/kudoz/german_to_english/law:_contracts/2...

I assume

the seller means: "[The seller shall] reserve the right [to impose new conditions] for correct and timely self-delivery".

That is, the buyer will have to deal with new terms if the buyer delays acceptance of the goods but later wishes to collect the goods.

hmm...

Subject to availability of merchandise [supplies]

A full and timely order execution is subject to [sufficient] availability of merchandise [supplies]

We reserve the right ...

Mats got close.
"We reserve the right to assure a correct and timely supply ourselves".

I.e. the client wants to make sure, that if the delivery cannot be done correctmly and on time, that he can cancel the order and find supplies somewhere else.

That's how I read this.

reserve the right to buy-in

Although this is obviously not a financial context, maybe a financial term helps? A "buy-in" occurs in the event of a party defaulting, e.g. on a delivery obligation, in which case the non-defaulting party has the right to obtain the goods in the market and subsequently claim any resulting damages.
Peer comment(s):

neutral Benedikte Larsen : Klaus Beyer is right: Selbstbeliferung means delivery to the seller himself (products which he has in his product range). Hence, "a full and timely order execution is subject to [sufficient] availability of merchandise [supplies]" is correct.
