Hi,

Please find a comparison ocean freight for FCL and LCL base on 8 pallets goods for your reference

For your reference, please find a comparison ocean freight for FCL and LCL based on 8 pallets of goods.

What is 'a comparison ocean freight'?

We are asked to correct a huge number of sentences like this about shipping. I could be wrong, but they all seem to be from the same office. If so, has your office ever considered hiring an employee who has good English?

Best wishes, Clive

Several things:

1. You really should get a screen name. First, it feels wrong to answer someone Anonymous. A faceless, nameless stranger asking questions is not friendly. Also, it gets confusing. Is this the same Anonymous that we responded to earlier?

2. Your English is so confounded that it makes no sense.

3. Don't use abbreviations unless they are very common. What is an FCL? Abbreviations must be generally understood. For example, US for United States is OK because everyone knows what it is.

4. Again, this is not a simple question. I am assuming you are the same Anonymous from a different thread.

5. Now, I will guess at an answer:

For your reference, please find a comparison of ocean freight (costs?) for FCL freight and (costs?) for LCL freight based on 8 eight pallets of goods. ~~for your reference~~

This is really a total guess. If the intent was clear, it could probably be much better.
