What is different between Shipping and Shipment?

Question

Answer

Shipping=  the process of goods  being transported. 
Shipment=  the goods/consignment which were ordered .
Once the  company receives the goods ,  they are called  "delivery"..
So if somebody says "your order has been shipped" it means your order is on the way to the delivery service (not sent to you directly)
 When the delivery service receives the goods  and  is ready to deliver them to you then it is called delivery (sent to you directly).

Answer

Shipping is the act of transferring the cargo from port to port, whereas shipment is the cargo being transferred. You may have also heard of shipping line, which is the business which does shipments. A famous shipping line is Maersk.

Answer

Shipping and shipment are closely related but mean different things. Shipping refers to the overall process or service of transporting goods from one place to another, including packing, handling, carrier selection, documentation, and delivery—this is what platforms like Shipixycom provide to users. A shipment, on the other hand, is the actual package or consignment of goods that is being sent through that process. In simple terms, you use a shipping service to send a shipment: shipping is the action, and the shipment is the result.
