Bicycle counter-offer

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _:

Thank you for your letter about the bicycle quotation under the heading.

Although we appreciate the quality of your bicycles, the price is too high to accept. Please refer to Sales Confirmation No.89SP-754. According to this sales book, we ordered 1,111 bicycles of the same brand, but the price is 11% lower than your quoted price. Since the last order, the price of raw materials has dropped a lot, and your own retail price has also dropped by 5%. Accepting your current quotation means that we will have a huge loss, not to mention profit.

however, if your price is reduced by at least 1.5%, we are very willing to renew our contract with you. Otherwise, we can only turn to other suppliers to make similar demands.

we hope you will seriously consider our proposal and give us an early reply.

Raincoat packing

Your order for the above title on June 2nd has been received, thank you. We are pleased to inform you that we can accept all the terms listed in the order except the packing terms.

the packaging described in your order is the old-fashioned packaging we adopted several years ago. Since then, we have improved the packaging, and the results show that our customers are completely satisfied with the recent batches of goods. Our raincoats are now packed in plastic bags and then packed in cartons, with a gross weight of about 31 kilograms per carton.

each carton is lined with plastic paper, and the whole carton is reinforced with iron hoops, so as to prevent the goods in it from getting wet and possible damage caused by rough handling.

Our opinion is that each raincoat can be displayed in the shop window because of the use of plastic bags, and it is beautiful, which will certainly be beneficial to the sale of goods. In addition, the improved package is light in weight, so it is easy to carry.

The above is for your reference. If we don't receive your objection before the end of this month, we will complete your order accordingly.

"Flying-pigeon" light car

Thank you for your order of 21 October for 111 "Flying-pigeon" light cars, but we regret that it is necessary to keep it on file for future reference. This is mainly because there is a great demand for my bicycles at home and abroad, especially because of the recent energy crisis, the orders of western European buyers are increasing.

we deeply regret that we cannot accept your order for the time being. However, we will cable you as soon as the supply situation improves.

counter-offer letter model essay 4 raises objection to the quotation

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _:

Your letter of June 11 was acknowledged. The quoted price of RMB 1811 per metric ton for hand-picked shelled peanuts plus freight to major European ports is too high to open.

recently, the price of American peanuts to major ports in Europe is only 1,711 yuan per metric ton, and the supply is very large, so you can buy them at will.

therefore, we ask you to reduce the price to a level close to this, and ship in October. As for walnut kernel, our price is 2511 yuan per metric ton. Other terms are as stated in your last letter. Please let us know the shipping date and packing of walnut kernel. If you agree to our above bid, please call us as soon as possible to confirm.
