Fairino FR5: Not enough mounting adapter for the kits we planned

Our Fairino FR5 is already here. I ordered a separate accessory batch from an unnamed seller in China for 27 matched kits for changing sample handling fixtures, each including a mounting adapter. The sealed outer box arrived short of that item. The seller says the quantity means pieces, while the invoice says kit and their final message lists contents per kit.

Has the received inventory included all inner bags and loose items, using the final per-kit contents list as its reference? That would distinguish an actual count gap from items packed elsewhere.

I included loose items in the inventory before distributing any accessories. The seller's final contents message specifies a mounting adapter in each kit, but our received total cannot complete 27 kits.

@AmaraBarnes0600 Give the seller a comparison of the received inventory, final per-kit contents, and invoice wording. Request an explanation of the quantity unit for this order using that same material.

Do I call it a packing error? The box was sealed, which makes me think it left them this way.

@AmaraBarnes0600 A received-count discrepancy describes what you can establish while the unit interpretation is unresolved. It lets you document the gap against the kit list without assigning its cause.

@BrunoChen1148 The final message defining kit contents establishes how the quantity should be counted. Use that wording to ask the seller to supply the outstanding items.

The contents message is relevant, but its relationship to the confirmed sale quantity still matters. A description of kit contents may need to be read alongside the order confirmation to resolve the units.

I overstated what the contents message alone settles. The request should first reconcile the per-kit description with the confirmed quantity and invoice, then identify the resulting shortage.

Could a kit and a piece quantity describe the same package in different ways? I find those units easy to confuse.

Different units can describe the same physical contents, provided their relationship is defined. Label each quantity with the unit actually used in the relevant order document.

I'll keep our planned 27 kits separate from the individual item totals. Combining them in one quantity column was asking for trouble.

@AmaraBarnes0600 I misread a pair quantity on a separate accessory purchase. Correcting that calculation was necessary before I could accurately describe the shortage that remained.

Worth having someone else recount ours with the same list? I've stared at these bags enough to stop trusting my eyes.

Yes. Give them the same item definitions and keep the contents grouped. Ask for their count before showing yours, so you're actually checking it.

An independent inventory can verify received quantities, but the agreed unit interpretation remains a separate question. Both parts of the discrepancy still need attention.
