Lie ramrod straight if you want it delivered home (4,5)
I believe the answer is:
mail order
'you want it delivered home' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.
'lie ramrod straight' is the wordplay.
'straight' indicates anagramming the letters.
'lie'+'ramrod'='lieramrod'
'lieramrod' anagrammed gives 'MAIL-ORDER'.
'if' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for mail order that I've seen before include "purchased by post" , "One way to get delivery" , "Shopping by post" , "that one's sent for?" , "type of catalogue" .)
