package delivery

Doorstep box arrival

Package delivery is the transport of parcels from sender to recipient, typically through postal services or private carriers.

The term covers everything from letters to large shipments: The package delivery arrived while I was at work.

With the rise of e-commerce, package delivery has become a daily expectation rather than an occasional event.
