delivery
Meaning
Delivery refers to the act of bringing goods or services to a designated location or recipient, often within a specified timeframe.
💡 A common mistake is confusing "delivery" with "dispatch," as the former refers specifically to the act of bringing items to someone, while the latter can mean sending them out.
