When you receive something, someone gives it to you, or it arrives after it has been sent to you. Get is used in a similar way. You use receive in formal writing and get in conversation and in less formal writing.
For example, in a business letter you might write ‘I received a letter from Mr Jones’, but in conversation and in less formal writing you would say or write ‘I got a letter from Mr Jones’.
