Price & Delivery Date Specified Order Method

The "Price & Delivery Date Specified Order" is a service where we offer a 10% discount on the price if the customer specifies a condition like "I will place an order if it can be delivered within JPY XX and by XX day XX month." Other discount services (Multiple Part Order Discount, Multiple Piece Order Discount, Total Order Amount Discount) will also be applied.

With this method, before the quotation, you will first pay the upper limit amount in the form of a "provisional payment."

If, as a result of the quotation, the production cost is below the provisional payment and the delivery date meets the specified date, the contract will be established. The difference between the provisional payment and the actual price will be held by our company until your next order.

If, as a result of the quotation, the production cost exceeds the provisional payment or the delivery date does not meet the specified date, the contract will not be established. In this case, our company will hold the full amount of the provisional payment until your next request. After the contract is deemed unsuccessful, you can still switch to the regular quotation process and apply again.

The advantages for customers of this "Price & Delivery Date Specified Order" are that the price is 10% cheaper than the regular quotation and the delivery date is shortened by 1-2 business days compared to the regular quotation.

The disadvantage for customers of this method is that they cannot change the request content midway. In the case of a regular quotation, for example, you can freely request additional quotations for various patterns, such as applying for only song A, only song B, or adding a quotation for song C, after receiving a quotation for songs A and B. However, with the "Price & Delivery Date Specified Order," you cannot change the production content specified initially.

The advantage for our company with the "Price & Delivery Date Specified Order" is that we can efficiently allocate sheet music production time for customers in a hurry.

We understand that some people may be worried that specifying an upper limit for the price would result in a higher price than originally intended. However, our quotations are based on our company's unified standards, and we do not manipulate prices. The purpose of implementing this service is to benefit both parties based on mutual trust. However, since the sheet music production fees vary greatly depending on the piece of music, we generally recommend new customers to request a regular quotation.

We will provide a quotation. A 10% discount for the Price & Delivery Date Specified Order will be applied to the production cost.

If the production cost is less than or equal to the provisional payment, and the delivery date meets the specified date:

- Application established
- Application date = date of provisional payment arrival

In this case, the difference between the provisional payment and the production cost will be held by our company until your next request.

If the production cost exceeds the provisional payment, the delivery date does not meet the specified date, or the quotation is not possible due to unclear customer's production requirements:

- Application not established

In this case, the full amount of the provisional payment will be held by our company until your next request. If you wish, you can switch to the regular quotation process as well.


Example of the Price & Delivery Date Specified Order Method
For instance, if a customer specifies the transcription of a song "A" with a cost of JPY 7,000 or less and a delivery date within 2 weeks, they will first make a provisional payment of JPY 7,000 using the "Price & Delivery Date Specified Order Method." Afterward, we will provide a quotation. If the transcription cost for song "A" is normally JPY 6,000 and it can be produced within 2 weeks, both the cost and delivery date meet the customer's specified conditions, so the application will be established. The production cost will be discounted by 10% to JPY 5,400, and the difference of JPY 1,600 between the provisional payment and the actual cost will be held by our company until the next request.

If the quotation results show that the transcription cost for song "A" is normallyJPY 7,500 and it can be produced within 2 weeks, the cost will be discounted by 10% to JPY 6,750. In this case, the application will also be established, and the difference of 250 yen between the provisional payment and the actual cost will be held by our company until the next request.

On the other hand, if the quotation results show that the transcription cost for song "A" is normally JPY 8,000, even with a 10% discount, the cost becomes JPY 7,200, exceeding the customer's specified maximum amount. In this case, the application will not be established. The full provisional payment of JPY 8,000 will be held by our company until the next request.

Also, if the delivery date does not meet the desired conditions (for example, in this case, if the delivery date ends up being 3 weeks), the application will not be established, and the full provisional payment will be held by our company until the next request.
