Sent from depots abroad (6)
I believe the answer is:
posted
'sent' is the definition.
('post' can be a synonym of 'send')
'depots abroad' is the wordplay.
'abroad' indicates anagramming the letters.
'depots' anagrammed gives 'POSTED'.
'from' acts as a link.
(Another definition for posted that I've seen is " Mailed".)
I've seen this clue in The Times.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
