Hello Sahid, "hurry to ship the goods soon" would be the best of the two.
"I would be most happy if you could hurry the shipment" would be even better.

Hi Sahid,
'Hurry' isn't really a word that would be used in a business context. I would suggest: I would be grateful if you would expedite shipment of goods as quickly possible. 'Hurry' and certainly 'hurry up' are more conversational as in: We'll have to hurry if we want to catch the bus. Come on, hurry up we can't wait any longer.

...
Many thanks Mr. Kitosdad and Mr. Alan...
As I am communicating mostly with Chinese business mates....I found using the conversational as well as very common words and phrases are much better for them to easily understand....
Anyway..I am very thankful to our masters for their sincere response to my request...
