"by 15 April" vs "by April 15"

Please help me with these sentence:,, The consignment should reach you by April 15''.
Can I say also: ,,The consignment should reach you by 15 April''?. Are both: ,, by April 15 and by 15 April'' correct forms? Is there any difference in using them? Thanks

Make it the 15th. and all will be OK.

Mr Kitosdad, so it should be:,,The consignment should reach you by April 15th'' or ,,The consignment should reach you by 15th April''?

Perfect Saneta. Use whichever you choose. Both mean the same.
