Yes, that's right. You could replace the word "shipping" here with "sending", as both words can mean to transport goods or products. There is, however, a slight difference between the two in that generally "shipped" implies a larger quantity than "send". Ex: I am shipping some books to London next week. Ex: I am sending some books to London next week.
