hi,


anything wrong with the sentence below?

"We will wait a couple of days more. We will inform you once we have got it."


Thank you.

Looks OK to me, but could be cleaned up a little...

We'll wait a few more days and inform you once received.

Unless there is a preceding sentence identifying something, this leaves a doubt as to what "received" relates to. It would be clearer to add "it has been received" - or to name the item being received.
