I believe the answer is:

orderless

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'haphazard' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'way to cut down on home delivery?' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'way' could be 'rd' (short for road) and 'rd' is found in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for orderless that I've seen before include "in mess?" , "Like soldiers without commander" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
