Notes
收到 is often used to confirm that something has been successfully received. It can be used both in formal and informal contexts. When used in communication, it can also imply acknowledgment, similar to saying 'Got it' in English.
Avoid confusing 收到 with 收拾 (to tidy up) or 收获 (to harvest), which have different meanings despite sharing the character 收.
