Writing exercise

Original:

Hi XXX,

Please find the attached PPL with updated cost based on the current quantity. Also, after communicating with the supplier, if split the shipment is a must, they would recommend to combine the POs based on the DC. One PO for all the quantity to USA and one PO for Canada. Just so you know that the total quantity to USA could fill a 20’ container. Since the supplier will finish all the production for fly packs at once, it will be more efficient to ship in a full container instead of multiple shipments with high LCL handling charges.

Would need your reply and official POs urgently, since their production line is running full as we speak, especially when it gets closer to the CNY.

Thank you.

If splitting the shipment is a must, the supplier would recommend that we combine the POs based on the DC, one single PO for the USA, and one for Canada, to make sure that the total quantity to the USA fills a 20’ container. Since the supplier will finish all the production for fly packs at once, it will be more efficient to ship it in a full container, instead of multiple shipments with high LCL handling charges.
