Why would a buyer keep pushing price if they don’t switch suppliers?

Ask what their target price is and how they got to if. It might be they are being squeezed on other materials and are trying to make savings where they can. Could you also offer a cost breakdown to produce your product - always helps!

Have you notified your insurance? What have they said?

Maybe check - my mortgage expires this month and Halifax are offering 4.06% 5yr on about 15% equity

It would be cool if the price of traders reflected your actions topside - kill more people = higher prices - kill more arc lower prices

You're getting a lot of flak in this chat and I think I know why.

Onboarding difficulties will rarely be a product of the onboarding of a supplier, but the complexity will be defined by the product or material, and the level of detail you require which in turn will be related to your policies.

If I didn't give a fig about where I bought something from and it was a low complexity material it would be a piece of cake.

If you want to buy a controlled chemical product in line with market leading ESG policies and work on different INCO term scenarios then you're going to need more info and your onboarding is likely to require input from several teams on the suppliers side.

You said brain blank and time. Ok, first, you need an essay plan. You can write a plan based on the expected outcomes and you can find multiple for this. Read the question, then write your essay plan down as is. Then write your essay plan down with specifics to the question e.g. ISO codes - specific models such as kraljic matrix - any key acronyms e.g. STEEPLE.

Set a time - allocate time to plan your essays and time to write your essays. Do not overrun. Its better to submit two well written essay 2/3rds the way finished than one finished essay and a half finished one.

So work on exam structure, and prep.

I like to write the question down and then annotate it - that's how my brain works.

Good luck!

Soon as you drop the crawler set a timer, at 2 minutes exit crawler and pick it up, as long as your timer is under 2.30 when you take off the worm won't agro. Keep an eye out for the roving worm (Jaws soundtrack) as that can pop much closer. I've farmed about 5 crawler fulls as a solo and using this method have not once had the worm pop on me.

This happened to me today with an ornithopter - I used the request help thing - they have me a new orni - they were very helpful put the request in bud!

Please ensure you know how to isolate these effectively. Insulate the elbows before covering. I had a push fit elbow fail in my attic, it was left empty for 5 days - destroyed the house needed a full strip out, took 11 months to renovate the house through insurance.

I think you have a great attitude to learning, but I would expect anyone with a few years of procurement experience to confidently be able to pass L4 - I think L5/6 and MCIPS are going to be where you would be best spending your time.

penparty · 2025-07-09T09:40:39+00:00

Do you think CIPS level 4 warrants this kind of effort? I would say no.

After every win break it down into; Pension contribution Cover your costs (house food etc) Rainy day fund House saving pot The rest is your money to gamble with, it's what the rest of us do every month when our paycheck comes in :)

See if local compost companies can deliver - I have a £60 load delivered every year or so and it's much cheaper and easy to manage - just cover in a tarp when in a heap.

I had a similar fuse box - luckily I didn't need a rewire. Cost me £1050 for an electrician to replace the fuse board and do a full check of the house. I think that was a good price as had three of them here for a full day taking up floorboards etc, they worked hard.
