Hello!

Would you be so kind as to tell me what is the right preposition for this sentence:
Reclamation 'on' or 'in' the latest goods... (I mean that reclamation is according to the latest goods...)

Thank you.

I'm afraid neither one makes sense to me. What do you mean by "reclamation"?

Reclamation = claim (a letter of complaint).

I need to claim on unnecessary goods. The topic of my email letter is "Reclamation 'on' or 'in' the latest goods".

I think reclamation "of" would work better here.

Denismurs, thank you! How do you think wheather the English preposition 'for' corresponds to the Russian preposition 'по' (рекламация по последним товарам) here?

P.S.: Administrators, do not delete my post, please. I just need advise of someone who speaks Russian.

Piscean, I want to say that one company sent me unnecessary goods (I did not order them), but I must pay for them. That is why I need to write a reclamation (a letter of complaint) 'on' or 'in' (or should I use another preposition?) these goods...
Let me know if you need some additional information.

So do you want the company to reclaim their goods?

Hi, Ksenia,
If you are sending out a message to a foreign company, so it would be better to think like themselves. And I believe that Pirsean is right: you should just to describe the problem and tell them what you want.

For example:
Title: Complain report
Description: ... We have recieved the goods which were not ordered. We want to return the goods and we want you to pay back the money or send us the "correct" goods...

Best wishes,
Denis

In this case you should open the topic on the forum of multitran.ru
