取消定單的常用表達[qh]

在國際貿易過程中，由於種種原因，取消定單的事情時有發生，無法避免。作爲賣方，肯定是不願意碰到這樣的事情，輕則生意減少，重則無法收回貸款、遭受經濟損失。作爲買方或中間代理商，取消定單的做法也必定是不得已而爲之。但因定單在某種情況下具有法律效力，所以如若取消，務必要把握好時機，儘量減少對方經濟損失，也同時減少自己需要承擔的法律責任。在這個過程中，及時、有效的溝通就顯得尤爲重要。所以，下面就請大家學習幾句取消定單時的常用表達。[qh]

① To my deep regret, the buyer of these goods has just cancelled the order, which compels me to cancel my order with you.[qh]

非常抱歉，茲因購貨人已向我方撤銷定單，迫使我方只好向貴方取消這一次定單。[qh]

order with you.[qh]

由於我們的需求在今後一段時間內都可以得到滿足，因此，我們不得不取消此次定單，非常抱歉。[qh]

③ We are sorry to report that our buyer does not confirm this order at your price $5007. we must therefore cancel this order.[qh]
