Receipt vs receiving

It is common to see in the business correspondence. " Sending doesn't guarantee receipt ", I wonder if we can replace receipt with a gerund ' receiving ' to make the sentence look more balanced and I don't see why not we can't since ' sending ' is also a gerund.

Receipt sounds like a piece of paper to me. I feel awkward to see it being used in such way.

Any comments ?
