Food store really gets consignment (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

delivery

'consignment' is the definition.
(eg a consignment of goods)

'food store really' is the wordplay.
'food store' becomes 'deli' (short for delicatessen).
'really' becomes 'very' (I've seen this in another clue).
'deli'+'very'='DELIVERY'

'gets' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for delivery that I've seen before include "Shipment" , "Act of giving birth" , "Manner of making speech or bowling a ball" , "useful service for the housebound" , "Style of speaking" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
