Discuss price and delivery with a supplier.
The idea
Ask about price and delivery, explain your constraints, and offer a compromise conditional on a term you need.
Examples
- Could you offer a lower unit price for a larger order?
- We need the first shipment to arrive before the end of May.
- A single delivery would be cheaper, but our warehouse has limited space.
- Would two deliveries be possible at the quoted price?
- We could accept a slightly higher price if transport is included.
- Let us confirm the quantities and delivery dates in the agreement.
