A Proposal for Over shipped Merchandise is a document created by a company when it has shipped merchandise in excess of what was ordered. The proposal typically outlines the details of the over shipment, such as the quantity, type of merchandise, and cost, and explains the company's solution for dealing with the over shipment. There are two main types of Proposals for Over shipped Merchandise: return or credit. A return proposal outlines a plan for the customer to return the excess merchandise to the company in exchange for a refund, while a credit proposal allows the customer to keep the excess merchandise and receive a credit for the cost of the over shipment.
