I hope this message finds you well. I am based in Sydney, Australia, and I'm looking to place an order for eco-friendly (if possible) Christmas ornaments that celebrate Irish culture. I would like to work with you on this project as the ornaments must be produced sustainably and delivered in time for the upcoming holiday season.

Project Details:
- The ornaments will feature traditional Irish pop culture symbols(shamrocks, MrTayto, Guinnes, Text with Irish sayings, etc. ).
- We require them to be made from sustainable materials if possible such as recycled plastic or acrylic (if possible not a deal breaker)
- Size: Approximately 3-4 inches in diameter/height.
- Colors: Green, white, gold, red, yellow, black
- Customization: Ideally, we'd like the option for some to be personalized with names or phrases in Irish.

Order Quantity:
For the initial batch, I'm looking to order 500-1, 000 pieces.

Timeline:
This is a seasonal product, so we must receive the full order by MID-November. Could you provide sample ornaments within 1-2 weeks and full production completed within 2-4 weeks?

**Pricing and Payment Terms: **
I'm aiming to keep the unit price between $2 - $3 USD per ornament, including packaging and shipping. Could you please provide a cost breakdown for production, packaging, and shipping? I'm open to discussing volume-based discounts if we proceed with larger orders. For payment, we typically prefer 30% deposit and 70% upon completion.

**Sustainability Certifications: ** (Not a deal breaker)
Ideally eco-friendly production and/or materials would be great, could you share any relevant sustainability certifications or information on the materials you'd use?

**Samples: **
Im working on designs now. What format is best for you? Ill then require you to send 1-3 samples to me via express shipping, so we can approve the design before moving forward with full production.

**Shipping Options: **
To ensure timely delivery, I'd like to explore air shipping for the initial batch. If we proceed with a larger order, we could consider sea freight for cost savings. Please include estimates for both options.

Thank you for your time and I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Best regards,
Elaine Benson
