The normal practice is that buyers fill in a
company’s printed order form, normally called “purchasing order”. Alternatively, the buyers compose a letter of order which includes full and clear essential details such as quality, quantities, prices, packing, shipment, terms of payment, etc.
The seller can either fully accept the order, or make counter offers, or reject the order.
However, when an order is placed by a buyer in reply to a seller’s firm offer within its validity, the seller is obliged to supply the goods. Such an order becomes a contract in effect.
Once an order is accepted, it is deemed as a contract between the seller and the buyer. Both parties should strictly fulfill their obligations.
2. how to write an order.
If the order turns out to be satisfactory, we’ll place further orders with you.
