group of goods sent together
A group or load of things that are sent together from one place to another, usually for a customer or a store.
รูปแบบการใช้:
a shipment of [goods]
ข้อผิดพลาดที่พบบ่อย:
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".

consignment (Often used in business and shipping; very close in meaning but slightly more formal and technical.)

cargo (Usually refers to goods carried by ship, plane, or truck; focuses more on the load itself than the business transaction.)
|
load (More general and informal; can refer to any amount of things being carried, not only commercial goods.)
คำตรงข้าม
inventory (Inventory is goods kept in storage, while a shipment is goods that are being sent out or moved.)

process or event of sending goods
The action or event of sending goods from one place to another, usually as part of business.
รูปแบบการใช้:
the shipment [is/was] [status]
ข้อผิดพลาดที่พบบ่อย:
Learners sometimes say *"do a shipment"* instead of natural phrases like "arrange shipment", "send the shipment", or "ship the goods". They also confuse "shipment" (countable: one shipment, two shipments) with uncountable "shipping" when talking about costs, where "shipping" is usually preferred (e.g. "shipping costs", not *"shipment costs"* in many contexts).
คำพ้องความหมาย
dispatch (Emphasizes the act of officially sending something out, often used in business or logistics contexts.)
|
shipping (A very close term; more common for talking about the general process, service, or cost rather than a single event.)
|
sending (More general and everyday; not limited to commercial goods.)
คำตรงข้าม
storage (Storage is keeping goods in one place, while shipment is moving them from one place to another.)
