Hi Charles, In answer to your first question, the use of 'on' is to qualify where the saving will be made. ad nauseum And in answer to your second; 'in delivery' is descriptive of the state of a pregnant animal that is currently giving birth. I hope this helps.

'So, I could save on my car insurance?'

Thanks a lot ugy. So you mean that I can't say "my mail is in delivery", correct?

You could say it and I'm sure that you'd be understood but it's also good to know that it might raise a smile.

You could also say 'My mail is transited' but that's not a good use of English.
'My mail is in transit' is right on the money.

I hope your mail is eventually delivered.
