寄送

快递 refers to express delivery or courier service. While you 寄送 something via 快递, 快递 is the service, not the act of sending itself. You wouldn't say '我快递了包裹' (I couriered the package) but rather '我用快递寄送了包裹' (I sent the package using express delivery).

递送 means 'to deliver' or 'to hand over'. It implies a direct delivery by hand or by a delivery person, whereas 寄送 focuses on the act of sending through a service or post.

运送 generally refers to 'transporting' or 'shipping' over a longer distance, often involving larger quantities or cargo. 寄送 is more about sending individual items or packages.

Both 寄送 and 邮寄 mean 'to send' or 'to mail'. The confusion arises because 邮寄 specifically implies sending via the post office or postal service.

寄送 is a more general term for sending something, while 邮寄 specifies the method of sending (via post). Think of 寄送 as 'dispatch' and 邮寄 as 'post'.

他决定邮寄包裹。 (Tā juédìng yóují bāoguǒ.) - He decided to mail the package.

发送 also means 'to send', leading to overlap. However, 发送 is frequently used for digital or electronic transmissions.

发送 is commonly used for sending digital items like emails, messages, or files. While 寄送 can also be used for some physical items, 寄送 often implies a physical package or letter. If you're sending an email, use 发送. If you're mailing a physical letter, 寄送 or 邮寄 is better.

请把文件发送给我。 (Qǐng bǎ wénjiàn fāsòng gěi wǒ.) - Please send the document to me.

送 is a very common verb for 'to give' or 'to deliver'. It can sometimes be used in contexts where 寄送 might also apply.

送 is a broader term. It can mean to give, deliver in person, or see someone off. 寄送 specifically means to send or mail something through a service. You '送' a gift to a friend in person, but you '寄送' a package through the mail.

他送给我一本书。 (Tā sòng gěi wǒ yī běn shū.) - He gave me a book.

寄 is the first character of 寄送 and also means 'to send' or 'to mail' on its own. It can be confusing when to use the single character versus the compound word.

寄 is often used as a verb in conjunction with an object, like 寄信 (to mail a letter) or 寄包裹 (to mail a package). 寄送 is a more formal or general way to say 'to send' or 'to mail', especially when the object isn't specified, or you're talking about the action itself.

我需要寄这封信。 (Wǒ xūyào jì zhè fēng xìn.) - I need to mail this letter.

发货 means 'to ship goods' or 'to deliver goods'. This is specifically related to commercial shipping and can be confused if the context is just sending an item.

发货 is almost exclusively used in a commercial or business context, referring to the shipping of merchandise or goods. 寄送 is more general and can apply to personal items, letters, or packages, not necessarily commercial goods.

我们将在三天内发货。 (Wǒmen jiāng zài sān tiān nèi fāhuò.) - We will ship the goods within three days.
