How do I compete it?

Did you remember to collect the items? FD changed this a while back so now, when you take a delivery mission you then have to go up to the " - COLLECT + " buttons, right-arrow to collect all (or as much as you can carry in one trip) and then, at the destination, do the same with the DELIVER buttons to drop the stuff off.
 
Went back again, COLLECTED the stuff this time, along with 3 other missions for same destination, got here again STILL won't let me complete. Gonna try one last time

Did you set the slider for the amount of items you want to deliver, if you don't move it it will assume you want to deliver 0 items and won't let the mission complete.
 
Did you really pick the cargo up from the depot? Many people at first make the mistake of just buying the commodity from the market. What does your inventory screen look like? It needs to say "haulage" when a commodity is related to a delivery mission.

Edit: regarding your new post, the cargo clearly is still at the pick-up location "(2/2) in depot, collected by you: 0"

That screen shows you've collected zero cargo and 2/2 remain in the depot.

EDIT - it's a delivery mission. They want you to deliver their cargo rather then go buy some cargo and deliver that instead. Its a surprisingly common mistake :)

This one.

You need to:
  • Go back to Mawson Dock
  • Go to the Mission Board
  • Select the mission you accepted from the board
  • Load the cargo onto your ship from the dialog (it'll look like your screenshot, only it'll be for loading cargo, not dropping it off)
  • Take it to the destination, and repeat for unloading.
Just in case you've done this, you can't purchase the cargo from the market and deliver that... it must be the cargo from the mission depot.
 
Basically,

Go bac k to the start, select how many you want to pick up using the plu/minus buttons, then press the button in the middle of the two (yes it is a button)to collect the items.
 
Imagine if you'd looked at Para's guide, so much less hassle :)

Anyway - next time you try and pick up the goods check you inventory. If it's still empty you did not pick it up. Or check the Transactions tab for the mission - that also shows you if you actually have the goods.

I imagine you haven't realised that the middle button (between the +/-) is actually a button (as the post above says).
 
Just tried to collect again
Seemed to collect fine, even said cargo full. Tried to collect for another mission and days cargo full. Lights went back out 0/2
Launched anyway and this is how my missions look? I can't figure whether I have anything at all.

Not picked up.
First pic above, click on + sign to load, then (er) click in between + and - to confirm?
Try that.

Edit: check your ship inventory, see what you picked up.
 
Success!!!!
I've figured it. You don't only have to scroll to collect units but you also have to click the scroll button AGAIN to confirm which is why I kept flying off with nothing. Not very user friendly especially how long it takes to even fly from one place to another
