I'm afraid the original doesn't say "七月末以来" or "七月末から". What it says is "七月末".

Sorry about my correcting your writing. I know it's presumptuous of me. It's just that Conyac requires us to review the writings of other translators. I hope you'll understand. Thank you.

Sadly ...ast Retailing had been negotiating... (your correction) I will not say is incorrect but a way a person writes their sentences. As a native English speaker I understand even the slightest nuance that natives do not. I also do not mean to be rude but only a naive understand that nuance.

I see. Thank you for your response.
