Isn't it redundant to say "as per" (your request, etc)?

Question

You can say
"as you requested" or
"Per your request"

So why do people say "as per"-- isnt that redundant or is there some meaning to it specifically?

Answer 1

As per means "as for"....

Like as per your request = as for your request.

It is usually used after someone has stated something else to you, for instance:

Yes, we have small socks, and as per your request of the large socks, sorry we have none in at this time.

It is just a professional way of saying "as for", and not redundant unless they say "as for as per your request".

Answer 2

No its not redundant - it tells the reader that you are specifically supplying requested information (hopefully in the order and with the details requested LOL). It is also more formalized vs. a casual reply.

Answer 3

You don't say as per your request. Per your request is sufficient. As you requested is fine too. They mean the same thing. No particular meaning or any redundancy.

Answer 4

As per your question, 'as per' is a quick and efficient way to get to the point in a business context rather than ramble on with 'as you requested' and/or 'per your request'.

Answer 5

It may be redundant but it is a commonly accepted business practice used in formal business writing. Use your own version if you prefer.

Answer 7

I don't see that as redundant....the word" Per" basiclly means "For"

Answer 8

I don't see it as redundant, just efficient.

Answer 9

I believe it means a bit different thing when both words are together, a kind of "in case if". And "in case of" when they are separately. But i know English badly.
