    I just phrase it "is there any flexibility on the price?".

    i emailed the place supplying our kilts and basically just asked outright, they offered 10% which i declined as its a standard discount and they came back with 15% :)

    my venue quoted us for drinks and i went back saying it was too much and they reduced it.

    I ask for discount on most large purchases now as standard and have been sucessful the majority of the time!
