Get a quote against the exact missing assembly and its contents, including delivery and an availability answer. I'd keep the seller's separate-supply option open while you do that; getting a price doesn't commit you to buying the replacement yourself
15pointsLocal supplier has the fitted assembly reference and missing kit list. Nothing ordered. I have asked the seller whether it will dispatch the complete kit separately instead.
17pointsHave both sides identify the actual adapter revision and matching pieces, Farah; a shared description such as spare kit won't show you whether their prices cover the same contents
14pointsLocal quote covers the identified kit, in stock. Seller says no standalone supply available and repeats its lower credit offer. The shortfall is now a real comparison, not an estimated adapter price.
19pointsIs the kit needed for scheduled work or for contingency stock? That affects how long waiting remains useful, without changing what the seller still owes you an answer on.
13pointsContingency stock. I sent the like-for-like quote back and asked for the credit to cover it. No substitute assembly involved.
12pointsThen you've given them something concrete to accept or refuse. I wouldn't spend the local money on the assumption they'll improve the credit later, however reasonable the comparison looks
-2pointsRevised credit received and matched to the missing kit line. It covers the quoted replacement. I have now ordered that identified kit locally; stores knows it is not yet available stock.
20pointsKeep the original shortage and replacement order linked in the handover, so the person covering stores doesn't expect both parcels or count the credited kit as still due
17pointsReplacement delivered. Stores checked the complete kit contents and references. Original shortage settled by the received credit; local supply booked into stock once. No second parcel expected.
1pointsGlad that one reached a cupboard instead of another promise. Does maintenance have the spare's actual location as well as the purchase closure?
