It is grammatical but not very logical; dates cannot really be 'swapped' without causing some wonderment. Simply tell them when you can ship each order: If you want your second order delivered sooner, we can ship it on [date] and ship your first order on [date].

The term shipping originally referred to transport by sea, but is extended in American English to refer to transport by land or air (International English: "carriage") as well. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freight_transport
Outside that, the words send and deliver are used.
