It is also expressly stipulated in the contract that Loverboy United Pte Ltd must send a written request for delivery of the flowers at least ONE (1) week in advance of the delivery date with all their customer’s details and if they fail to do so, your client shall not be liable for any losses as a result of your client’s failure.

• Your client also tells you that they engage a despatch company known as On Time Delivery Pte Ltd, to send the flowers and the despatch company charges them a fee of $2 per flower delivery based on the bulk despatch your clients provided as each day the deliveries are between 20 to 40 flowers for various locations. Although your client says there was no written contract, there was a salesman known as Johny Cuckoo who agreed to the price and he sent an email to your client confirming the agreement to $2 per flower delivery.

• Your client received a bill from On Time Delivery Pte Ltd and in the invoice the company claims the rate of $5 per delivery and when your client’s staff sent an email to them, they replied that it was a misunderstanding as based on the volume of the delivery, the rate quoted by the salesman to you was wrong.
