relatively high volume in comparison to the volume of the products

English to French Bus/Financial General / Conversation / Greetings / Letters

Bonjour,

Politique des prix d'une cyberboutique.

**A charactestic of our products is the relatively high volume in comparison to the volume of the products**. This means that shipping to some countries will give delivery costs that are substantial compared to the value of the products. We have chosen not to calculate the shipping in the price of our products, but to charge these separately and to give a realistic price to our products.

Si ce n'est pas une mauvaise traduction ça !!!!

Je peine à comprendre la première phrase...

D'avance merci.

Joyeuses Pâques à tou(te)s.

Proposed translations (French)

une des caractéristiques de nos produits est leur volume relativement important(une fois emballés)

lorette (asker) Mar 22, 2008: Merci à toutes et à tous. Le texte source est bourré de fautes... Très bonne fin de semaine.
askell Mar 21, 2008: we have choosen not to calculate = we have chosen not to include
askell Mar 21, 2008: will give delivery = will generate delivery
Michael GREEN Mar 21, 2008: Agree with Audrey. mediamatrix may be right, but there is no better way to confirm this than to check with the client.
Audrey Langlasse Mar 21, 2008: It would make sense, I agree. But double-checking with the client is always safer.
Ysabel812 Mar 21, 2008: Agree!
JAN SNAUWAERT Mar 21, 2008: I would say so too.
Roger McKeon Mar 21, 2008: I would say mediamatrix hits it right on the head.
Audrey Langlasse Mar 21, 2008: A ta place, je demanderai une explication directe au client. C'est du charabia et cela peut être risqué de partir dans l'interprétation.
Jennifer Levey Mar 21, 2008: Typo (or bad editing): the second 'volume' in the first sentence should be 'value'. i.e. they sell low-value items with excessively large/heavy packaging
