Invoice no: 123456

Dear [contact name],

We have received your invoice no: 123456 in the amount of [amount]. However we were surprised to see included a carriage charge of [amount].

On your quotation (no: [number]) there was no mention of an extra cost for delivery, and as our original purchase order specifically asked for a quote ‘carriage paid’ we are entitled to assume that the final amount in that quote  included the delivery cost.

Please could you send us a credit note for the full amount of the carriage.

Your sincerely,
