will arrive at your location / will be available at your location


Explanation:
Expression québécoise qui veut dire 'arrivera chez vous' ou 's'installer' (souvent à l'improviste). Par ex, la visite débarque pour les Fêtes.
Ce n'est pas habituellement employé en langage écrit.

Sans le reste du contexte, on pourrait utiliser différentes expressions:
Will be launched at your location (s'il s'agit d'un lancement)
Will arrive in your inbox (s'il s'agit d'un courriel) ou at your location
Will be available at your location

disagree  Patrick Lemaire: "Débarquer" implies causing some degree of inconvenience, which is obviously humourous here. This is entirely missing from this translation.

will barge into your home


Explanation:
"to barge in" is defined as "to intrude or interrupt rudely or awkwardly". It is commonly used in the formula "sorry for barging in like this" when arriving unannounced at someone's home. I think it relays the exact same idea of the French verb "débarquer" and would be particularly applicable if the object is rather large, as the delivery men will surely "barge in".

neutral  AllegroTrans: it doesn't mean "barge in" when used in terms of a delivery

disagree  Geneviève Benoit: Not the right phrase in this context. And the meaning is generally not that strong when used in Quebec.
