Consignment in shop, really (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

delivery

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

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

'in' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for delivery that I've seen before include "Handing over - manner of speaking" , "Throw of a cricket ball" , "Carriage and supply" , "Style of speaking" , "Consignment" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
