To Optilang,
Would you really use "have you sent the shipment to London yet" ?

Doesn't the word "shipment" generally mean "act of shipping",although it can also mean the thing that is shipped.

Wouldn't it be easier to say "have you shipped the *** to London yet" ?

Just curious

I don't see any problem with it. Many times I find myself waiting for a shipment to arrive, only to be told that it hasn't been sent yet.
