Usage notes
- For shipping or parcels, consegna is standard; spedizione is the shipment process, not the final handoff.
- Use fare una consegna for making a delivery; consegnare is the verb. Don't say *fare una consegna di compiti* for school submission.
- In school contexts, consegna often means the instructions or prompt of an assignment, not the act of handing it in.
