택배가 오늘 배송되었습니다.
taek-bae-ga o-neul bae-song-doe-eoss-seup-ni-da., taek bae ga o neul bae song doe eoss seup ni da.
Since 배송 refers to the sending process, '배송되었습니다' is a correct expression.

It means the seller sent the item, so '배송했습니다' is appropriate.

수령을 보냈습니다.
su-ryeong-eul bo-naess-seup-ni-da., su ryeong eul bo naess seup ni da.
'수령' means receiving, so it cannot be used with 'sent'; use '배송' instead.

ban-pum-eul su-ryeong-haess-seup-ni-da., ban pum eul su ryeong haess seup ni da.
'반품' means returning (sending back), so it doesn't fit with '수령' (receiving).
