ships out
Mails the package
Ships out means to send or transport something, especially goods or merchandise: The warehouse ships out three hundred orders daily.
It also means to depart, particularly for military duty or a long journey: He ships out for basic training next week.
The phrase emphasizes the beginning of transit—the moment something leaves rather than arrives.
