ok. it appears that the definition part of the clue is 'what may up' or 'what may up deliveries', meaning presumably 'increase the volume of sound'. Pathetic. How do they get away with clues this daft?

Yes, i think they mean up deliveries as in delivering a speech, ie up the volume. A bit tenuous but thats what you get with the times.
