Thank you for your contract. I'm allowing one of my Managers of our Logistic Department come forward to discuss pricing with you, although we're happy to help we're never a cheap bunch.
But we are the best.

Thanks again!

May I firstly take this opportunity to thank you for your patience with regards to getting this contract set up, and secondly for seeking out Universal Shipping for your supply needs.
We are, of course, delighted to assist Nebula Shipping Express with supplying your establishment in orbit of Planet Cambridge. I have drafted a formal contract, as below. However, have a few price negotiations that I would like to cover first. You'll see that I have made amendments and hope these would be acceptable. This is due to the distance needing to be covered and there needs to be a higher percentage of profit for our transports, especially as it'' include and help to cover payroll for such a large operation. Not to mention the increase in cargo size which limits the capability to haul large quantities en masse.
This contract is a formal supply request from Shinzo Hashidate, of Nebula Shipping Express to Universal Shipping Incorporated for a supply request. These supplies are to be brought in to your establishment in orbit of Planet Cambridge, and as such, all deliveries will be specially marked and tracked via your neural net tracking system.

Greetings Mr. Smith, USI Logistic department Manager,
It is me one more time, Shinzo 真三Hashidate, board member of Nebula Shipping Express installation located at the orbit of Planet Cambridge. I am here to negotiate your proposed prices for the current contract. In the beginning, I would like to thank you for your reply and for assigning someone from the logistics department to reply to our transmission as soon as possible.
The prices offered by your respected logistics department manager are too much for the distance and time spent to deliver these materials. For example, the reinforced alloys can be purchased for 250 credits per crate at the Freeport 11 / Omega 3 system which is two trade lanes away from the location of NSE. It can be also purchased from Planet New London which is also two trade lanes away from the NSE base. The distance can be traveled within three minutes' time, and the profit is 500 credits per crate delivered.
Concerning the Magnetic Superconductors, We have no problem increasing the price to 1,250 per crate although it is expensive. Concerning the Gravity Field Stabilizers offered price, We find the 35,000 credits for each crate incredibly high and extremely expensive for us, so we still propose the 15,000 prices for each crate because we cannot afford more at the moment, so let me know what you think about that counteroffer and the newly offered prices. Thank you for your business and time.
As a corporate minded individual, I'm sure you can appreciate when I say that the prices I'd proposed aren't strictly just for corporate profit. By the time you take payroll, expenses, insurance and operation costs in to consideration, even at those prices, would not stand to gain a great deal at all. Our quality of service and capabilities mean we always charge the fairest price.
As for your counter-offer, it is with regret that I must inform you that Universal Shipping will respectfully be withdrawing from negotiations with regards to your supply request. Your proposed counter-offer would put us at a loss and we simply cannot operate at those marginal figures.
I, personally, find it disappointing that we could not come to an agreement that would have mutually benefitted our corporations. In saying this, I would highly encourage you to reach out to us in the future that we might explore potential business ventures.
For an on behalf of Universal Shipping Incorporated,
Charles Kemp-Smith
Manager
Department of Logistics
Greetings Mr. Charles Kemp-Smith, Universal Shipping Inc. Logistics Manger,
It is me one more time, Shinzo 真三Hashidate, board member of Nebula Shipping Express installation located at the orbit of Planet Cambridge. I am here on behalf of our CEO, Sara冴咲Tanaka to inform your respected corporation that your reply is received and we thank you for your business.
We find that our prices are profitable for the transports but your requested margin of profit is higher than our capabilities at the moment, so we understand that your transports find it not worthy to do the job for our proposed margin of profit and therefore, our contract is off. We wish you a very good business with others who can provide for you the requested margin of profit, Have a good time and business.
