How do you feel when I say "I must send by tomorrow"?
Hi, there. I have a question about meaning of "must"
For example
Customer: When are you dispatching the item?
Online shop: I must send it by tomorrow.
In this case, how do you feel the meaning about "I must send"?
Do you feel like "I have to send it by tomorrow" or "I probably will send it by tomorrow"?
If I want to use "must" as "probably", is it right usage?
Thanks in advance!

“Must” means “have to”. It does not mean “probably” but you can use it in a similar context. However, it will sound more urgent than “probably”.

the above answer is correct, just wanted to add:
I would say : It will be sent out tomorrow, or it will be going out in tomorrows mail, we are sending it tomorrow, it will be shipped tomorrow, it will be sent tomorrow.
all are very natural ways of saying it in English
