CPHP has done business with ABC Office Supplies for several years.  We have recently experienced a problem which is unusual for ABC.

We placed an order for 3 laser print cartridges on January 1, 2001.  On January 5, a shipment of 30 was delivered.  The driver would not leave just the 3 cartridges ordered, so we refused the shipment.  We also received a bill yesterday for 30 cartridges.

Please ship 3 laser print cartridges, and correct the error in billing.

If you need any additional information on this matter, please contact me at 412-383-2400.
