Delivery from trend-setting crew - street clothes? (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

shipment

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

'delivery' is the definition.
(delivery of shipped items)

'trend-setting crew street clothes?' is the wordplay.
'trend setting' becomes 'hip' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'crew' becomes 'men' (both can mean a group of workers).
'street' becomes 'st' (abbreviation).
'clothes?' is an insertion indicator (some letters clothe or cover others).
'hip'+'men'='hipmen'
'hipmen' placed inside 'st' is 'SHIPMENT'.

'from' is the link.

(Other definitions for shipment that I've seen before include "Consignment of goods" , "22 [CARGO]" , "A consignment as for marine transport" , "load" .)
