Are these usages correct?

Hi,
Here you need the future form and not the future perfect form because the action of 'sending' is going to happen and has not yet happened as: It will be sent in the next three hours.

I want a few sentences on using send and sent - Past tense, present tense and future tense forms. The parcel WAS sent yesterday. I am sending the parcel now. The parcel WILL be sent tomorrow.
Hope this helps.
