delivery system

How goods arrive

A delivery system is the method or infrastructure by which something reaches its destination.

The term spans contexts: a missile delivery system carries warheads to targets, a drug delivery system gets medication into the body, and a company's delivery system moves packages to customers.

The phrase emphasizes mechanism over content—how something arrives rather than what arrives.
