    Are you trying to say getting it delivered? You can also get delivery, without a pronoun.

Use it as 1. It is the difference between buying a pizza at a grocery store and getting it delivered. Or 2. It is the difference between buying a pizza at a grocery store and waiting for its delivery(at somewhere).

  • "Waiting for its delivery" is not idiomatic.

  • Okey then we could write it as waiting it to be delivered (at somewhere). ?

  • The usual preposition would be to, not at: ...and waiting for it to be delivered to the office. That said, one could say: ...and waiting at the office for it to be delivered.
