short change us on mesh
English to Spanish
Tech/Engineering
Check for "hold down lugs", erection bolts, gaskets for access openings, insulation anchors, and insulation reinforcing. Many vendors short change us on mesh supplied for stack lining insulation. Either they do not supply enough or the material is a different grade than specified.

nos estafan/roban en relación a la malla
Short change literally means that they give you change which is less than what you should get when you pay for something. In your context it means that they are not getting the mesh that they wanted/ordered: not enough or of a different specification.

no nos cumplen con la malla...ya sea porque su suministro es insuficiente o el material no se ajusta
a las especificaciones. Más coloquialmente, diría: "nos dan gato por liebre"

...nos proveen menos de lo que debieran, en cuanto a la malla...
Otra manera "no literal" de explicar el sentido de la frase sin ofender ni ser rudos...
Buena suerte!!!
