Delivery is "to your door" Explanation: The meaning of "Delivery" is "to your door". An item can be delivered by a postman or a courier. When the term "shipping" is used it often implies a "cheaper" service, which does not necessary include delivery to your door, it might be a parcel service where you need to go and pickup from a depot. This varies from country to country, in Australia a lot of Post services now routinely have 24-hour pickup locations where you only get a card with a code in your letterbox and use that to open a locker to get your parcel...
