Delivery man
delivery man es una persona que reparte a la casa o oficina cosas mandadas. Puede ser algo grande como una nevera pero tambien puede
ser una pizza. Aquí dicen 'un señor que hace delivery al domicilio' pero sé que ese uso no es oficial.

Estoy de acuerdo con "repartidor". Sin embargo, en algunos casos, usaría "fletero". Por ejemplo, compras un refrigerador en la mañana y en la tarde te lo entregan en tu casa. A esos hombres, no diría "repartidores" sino "fleteros", pero también es posible no estoy en lo correcto.

Also: home delivery = entrega a domicilio

@David: Cierto. Los fleteros se dedican al transporte de muebles, normalmente de la tienda al domicilio del comprador, pero con frecuencia se usa igual "camión repartidor".

También hay palabras específicas para ciertos repartidores. Por ejemplo, el repartidor de butano es un butanero.
