About to get into a big argument seeing delivery of goods (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

freight

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

'delivery of goods' is the definition.
'freight' can be an answer for 'goods' (freight is a kind of goods). I'm unsure of the 'delivery of' bit.

'about to get into a big argument' is the wordplay.
'about to get' becomes 're' (I've seen this in other clues).
'into' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'a big argument' becomes 'fight' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
're' put within 'fight' is 'FREIGHT'.

'seeing' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for freight that I've seen before include "that's carried by rail and road" , "Goods carries by large vehicle" , "Goods carried by a large vehicle" , "Charge for carrying" , "Transport of bulk goods" .)
