Common Mistakes

  • ¿Qué opciones de envío tienes?

    Using 'tienes' makes the question sound like you are asking what the other person personally possesses, not what exists in general.

  • ¿Que opciones de envío hay?

    Missing the accent changes the meaning; 'que' without accent is a conjunction, not an interrogative pronoun.

  • ¿Qué opciones de envío hayes?

    The verb 'haber' is irregular; the correct impersonal form is 'hay', not 'hayes'.

Alternatives

Cultural Tip

In many Spanish‑speaking countries, the word 'envío' is used more often in business contexts, while 'entrega' is common in everyday speech. When speaking with a formal customer‑service agent, prefer 'opciones de envío' or 'métodos de envío'. In Latin America, the verb 'haber' (hay) is the standard way to ask about existence; avoid using 'existe' in this construction, as it sounds unnatural.
