if under ICSG communicate via email it will be considered a silent contract, but do I need to think it as in a Postal acceptance rule applies where the moment the offer is accepted and the letter is posted out, it is also a constitutes an acceptance? In my opinion, they do not have a contract since 10/3 it should be a shipment date considered seller mentioned if send the item on 10/3 item would meet buyer's time frame, but buyers post the letter on 10/3, which it would be arrive till 1or more days later. Is it correct to think like this?

Jessabelle has sought your advice on the following issues; Part A. She believes she has negotiated the sale of a large amount of timber to a company in New Zealand managed by Tim.

Hi Tim, yes, we have a ship leaving for New Zealand on 10 March, that would meet your time frame... Hi Jessabelle, what is the price, I should have asked earlier? Hi Tim, really reasonable price, $5,000 per ton. Hi Jessabelle, that is a bit high, would you accept $4,000 per ton and payment over six months. Hi Tim, would accept six months payment but not $4,000 per ton, with delayed payment need $5,000 per ton. Hi Jessabelle, we could do $4,500 per ton. LITTIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII......
