Original Texts
コロンブスが幸福であったのは、彼がアメリカを発見した時ではなく、 それを発見しつつあった時である。 幸福とは生活の絶え間なき永遠の探求にあるのであって、断じて発見にあるのではない。

Translated by ausgc
Columbus was not happy when he had discovered Americas, but rather when he was just about to discover it.
Happiness [exists in/lies on] the contineous endeavour, certainly not [in/on] the discovery.

[exists in]を使うなら、「～の中に存在する」となり、その行為そのものにという意味合いになると思います。
それに対して、[lies on]を使うなら、「～の上に横たわる」となり、その行為が幸せを運ぶ未来へのレールだというようなニュアンスになるかと。

Also, I am not very fond of having the signature on the box. It'd be great if...

As for the prototype model, we said that it will be shipping by the end of August, however, it will be a bit delayed until the week of the 5th of September. For the mass production model, we have leant to estimate its lead time roughly. As we have noted, we proceed with th...

Sorry for the delayed response. We will work to ensure this never happens again. We are sending you the new order. Please confirm. AA, BB, CC, DD, etc. are selling well. I think there will be more orders in these colors this winter rather than the other colors.

I have suffered a loss of $4,000 because of your employees. It is clear that the goods were damaged as a result of terrible packaging. I have already submitted a damage report along with photos. There had been another damage report submitted by DHL Japan as well. I am afraid that your employees always say lies. Cindy and Barrett

If you could sell it to me for $380, then I am thinking of purchasing 10 of the white ones.
I've got another seller who offerred me $380, but if I could get the same deal off you, who is a Best Seller, I would rather purchase it from you instead.
I will be waiting for a good reply.
