- First document, is the analysis of metallic content of the material we shipped.
Based on this, the analysis clearly shows that material arrived with much higher copper content than it was sold with.
We sold basis of 94% Cu content, and material arrived with 97.88% copper content.
- Second document, is the analysis of non-metallic content of the material we shipped
3 samples were made, out of which 2 came with 2% and 1 came with 1.6%.
Thus average non-metallic content is 1.9% for the material.
This is no-where near the intial claim of 5-6% informed by customer.
its also no-where near the reduced figure customer sent to settle this claim at 4%.
So clearly customers are receiving much better quality material than they are buying, but they are not informing us of this or compensating us for this.
We are not asking for compensation for better quality we shipped.
But certainly we do not expect customers to claim over material that is better than expected.
All in all, you can see that customer cleary overstated this claim and is blowing it out of proportion.
% of non metallic is much more in line with the 1-2% I mentioned in all my previous emails.
In addition to this, considering that analysis purely on metallic content gave a 97.88% copper content, if you then add to this the non-metallic portion and deduce it purely on the copper %, customer still received a 95.89% Copper Content material. (97.88% - 1.9%)
With that in mind, there is absolutely no basis at all for customer to raise a claim on the material received.
In fact, customer should then consider compensating Royce for the cost of making the analysis, in addition to the fact that they received a material which has nearly 2% more copper content than it was agreed to.
