Future tenses

Hello!

Can someone exaplain to me the usage of the Future Simple tense here?

Yesterday, I received an e-mail. The e-mail says:

"We will send your package on May 25, 2018"

Why "will"?

Can I replace it with the Present Continuous?

We are sending your package on May 25, 2018

Or "be going to"

We are going to send your packge on May 25, 2018

Or "will be doing"

We will be sending your package on May 25, 2018
