Learners often confuse "shipment" with "shipping" and "delivery". "Shipment" is the group of goods themselves, while "shipping" is the general process or cost of sending them, and "delivery" is the act of bringing them to the final customer. Learners also sometimes say *"a shipment of stuffs"*; use a specific countable noun instead, e.g. "a shipment of clothes/books/parts".
Sens
