This form uses "to receive" for your own action. It's like saying you are "receiving permission" to do something. This makes your action sound very humble. It is different from when someone else does something for you.

This is more polite than "お + V-stem + する". That phrase means "I will do it humbly". This phrase means "I get the favor of doing it". You use it for someone very important.

Watch out: This form looks like another polite form. That form means someone else does something for you. This form means you do something for someone else. Look at who is doing the action to know the difference.

Don't use this when you use Chinese words with "suru" verbs. For example, don't say "お連絡いただく". This is a common mistake.
