extract from Chilean email
"tenemos un envío para usted desde el Reino Unido como remitente" While "como remitente" can be read "as sender" I wonder if it implies here, some sort of payment or cover charge. I know peninsula Castellano but suspect this might be idiomatic Chilean relating to their postal system.
The email goes on to say: "Necesitamos favor entregar forma de contacto para verificar datos de entrega" which seems to mean something like "We need to submit a contact form to verify delivery details"
So... not knowing how the postal system works there I'm at a loss to know exactly what is wanted in terms of this parcel. Seemingly there is a form that needs to be completed which may incur a charge?
Thanks in advance for any help

One policy making Correos unique among world posts is that it charges both sender and recipient. Senders must place stamps on their letters, while recipients must pay a small fee to their mailman to receive a letter.

| That's very helpful info, that seems to remove the confusion (for me) about the "remittente" |

as sender
Are you sure it's a parcel? An 'envío' could refer to a number of things and could be sent in a variety of ways. Without knowing more details I would translate it as:
'we have an order addressed to you that has been sent from the United Kingdom'
'we have an order addressed to you that has been sent from the United Kingdom'

| Yes, it's fishing accoutrements for fly fishing, but you're right, it is, technically, an order. |

return address
Si el remitente fuera una persona física o alguien en concreto, una empresa o así, si sería sender, pero si solo se habla de una dirección o lugar de procedencia es return address.

It's very easy to understand: dirección de envío, isn't it?

| So it could refer to the "sender"? That would make it easier to understand |
