AnonymousI dont know what this sentence would mean:

If you place your order on Thursday, it should / will arrive ~~as per~~ Monday.

As per- is not used correctly in this context.

As per -can be interpreted as: as instucted / ordered by.

As per John, no one should leave the office until all the details of the project is wrapped up before tomorrow morning.

Hi Dimsum. I am just wondering about the verb "order".

The second "verb" meaning.

If your order the car till the end of March, we will provide you with snow tyres free of charge.

Does it sound normal? Thanks in advance.

FandorinIf your order the car before ~~till~~ the end of March, we will provide you with snow tyres free of charge

I am not sure where you find this sentence.

To me this is how the sentence should be written in normal American English: If you order before April 1st, we will include / install snow tires on your car free of charge.

In my explanation, "order" means "directive", not a purchase on-line or by phone, like ordering a pizza from Pizza Hut.

I'm satisfied.
