I am going round and round like a dog that can't get comfortable in his bed with this one!
It's for a delivery company.
There are so many options for "expedición " and "envío" and they overlap considerably - I just don't know what is best to use. Please be crystal clear in you answers :-)
UK English please
"Toda recogida realizada por EMPRESA deja constancia del número de expedición asignado al envío, justo en el momento de retirar los bultos del domicilio del Cliente remitente"
Thanks!
