envío

shipment

noun en-BEE-oh Less Common

Also means

delivery

Usage Note

Envío refers to the act of sending or to the parcel/shipment itself (el envío llegó hoy). The written accent on the i is required because the stress falls on it (en-VÍ-o), breaking what would otherwise be a diphthong. Gastos de envío is the standard e-commerce phrase for 'shipping costs'. The verb is enviar.

Examples

"El envío tardará tres días en llegar."

Natural Translation

The shipment will take three days to arrive.
