Hello everyone!
Will you be so kind as to explain to me the difference between the terms "shipment date" and "delivery date".

Thanks in advance.

The shipment date is the date when the item leaves the manufacturer or the warehouse.
The delivery date is the date when it arrives at the premises of the customer/purchaser.
