Consignment of French uniform (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

delivery

'consignment' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'of french uniform' is the wordplay.
'of french' becomes 'de' ('of' in French).
'uniform' becomes 'livery' (livery is a type of formal uniform).
'de'+'livery'='DELIVERY'

(Other definitions for delivery that I've seen before include "Address" , "that might take 3-5 days" , "Act of giving birth" , "useful service for the housebound" , "Throw of a cricket ball" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
