After time sees delivery charges (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

postage

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

'sees delivery charges' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'after time' is the wordplay.
'after' becomes 'post' (suffix meaning after, eg post-war).
'time' becomes 'age' (an age is a period of time).
'post'+'age'='POSTAGE'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for postage that I've seen before include "Delivery cost" , "Cost of corresponding" , "Cost to send a mail item" , "Amount paid to mail" , "Money charged for delivery" .)
