delivery service

Brings goods home

A delivery service is a business that transports goods from one location to another, typically from a seller to a buyer: We used a delivery service to send the package overnight.

The term covers everything from pizza delivery to courier companies to app-based platforms that bring groceries or restaurant meals to your door.
