Hi, I’ve recently come across the following sentence from the email: ‘Although we have long delivery estimates, we tend to beat these, I am sure your order will be with you shortly’.
Is it grammatically correct to omit ‘ones’ after ‘these’? Is it better to use ‘them’ in this sentence?

I would suggest that here ‘these’ is too vague and unrelated to the object of the first sentence. I recommend either - ‘these estimates’ or - ‘them’.

I agree with Alan. ‘Although we have long delivery estimates, we tend to beat them, I am sure your order will be with you shortly’.
