1) "home delivery" can be something a local restaurant does for you.

2) They don't necessarily deliver to your *home*:
"If you are unwilling to lug along your heavy luggage, you can always choose to have it delivered to your hotel! This service is also known as Zhai Pei (宅配), or shipping service. Most convenience stalls provide this service."

"This service is exceptionally useful if you have bought a lot of souvenirs and it is too cumbersome for you to bring it to the airport when you already have your luggage to take care of. All you need to do is to have it packed and bring it to the convenience stall near your hotel 2-3 days ahead of your flight and collect your package again at the designated zhai pei area at your terminal."

In the following TP article about these services, it's consistently referred to as "delivery service" rather than "home delivery".

e.g. 沒錯,「宅配」正是一種新興的「生活事業」。
That's right, the delivery service industry is a new kind of "lifestyle industry."

宅配與便利商店結合,二十四小時全年無休代收包裹,讓許多夜貓族倍感貼心。
This marriage of convenience stores and delivery services, which allows one to bring in a package 24 hours a day, has made these services a favorite with night owls.
