免费送货吗？

You can say this to a shopkeeper or type it to an online seller. It works as a complete sentence. You don't need fancy grammar here. Just point at the item and ask. If you want to be more polite, add 请问 (qǐngwèn) at the start. That means 'May I ask.' It makes you sound like a pro.

Use it when buying furniture or heavy appliances. Use it when ordering a large meal for a party. It is perfect for Taobao or JD.com chats. If a price seems high, check if shipping is included. You might save enough for a bubble tea!

Don't use this at a sit-down restaurant for your table service. That is just 'service.' Don't use it if you are picking up the item yourself. If you are at a tiny street stall, it might sound odd. They usually don't deliver at all. Use it only when a 'delivery' is actually involved.

China has the world's most advanced delivery culture. Most people expect 包邮 (bāoyóu), which means 'shipping included.' This phrase became a national obsession with the rise of e-commerce. Sellers often use 'Free Shipping' as their main selling point. In the West, we wait a week; in China, we want it tomorrow for free!

You will often see 包邮吗? (bāoyóu ma?) online. That specifically refers to postal shipping. 免费送货 is broader and covers trucks or local couriers. If you are in a hurry, you might ask 什么时候能送到? (When can it arrive?). But always check the price first!
