Please explain the difference between these two sentences
Please let me know the difference between:
To order larger quantities, please contact supplier.
and
To order larger quantitites, please contact the supplier.
I think the first phrase is a general statement, that whenever you need to order larger quantities you should always first contact a specific supplier.
Please let me know.
To order larger quantities, please contact supplier.
To order larger quantitites, please contact the supplier.
I think the first phrase is a general statement, that whenever you need to order larger quantities you should always first contact a specific supplier.
Please let me know.

The first sentence is merely a shortened form of the second, with 'the' omitted. It is a style common in brief business communications, where unimportant words are omitted and abbreviations are rampant.
