Partial Shipment Request
What is this form?
The Partial Shipment Request is a letter used by sellers to notify customers that they cannot provide credit for the full amount of an order. Instead, the seller offers to ship a portion of the order if the customer agrees to reduce the quantity. This form helps manage customer expectations while ensuring the seller maintains cash flow and credit control. It serves a distinct purpose compared to standard order confirmation letters by specifically addressing credit limitations and partial fulfillment of orders.
