Dear Mrs Pugh and Year 9,

Thank you for your clear request. We can supply all the pine, cut to size. Unfortunately, 3 mm fluorescent green cast acrylic is out of stock until January. We can offer instead:

  1. 3 mm cast acrylic in fluorescent orange, in stock, at the same price; or
  2. 5 mm cast acrylic in fluorescent green, in stock, at £0.60 more per piece, plus VAT.

Our attached quote, Q4471, uses option 1: total £126.00 including VAT and delivery. Please reply by Friday 30 October to tell us which option you would like, and we will hold the stock for delivery on Thursday 12 November.

Kind regards,
Nia Hughes
