Payment and Delivery (2)
L: To get around your difficulty, Mr. Peter, I'd suggest that you reduce your order by half. You can send in an additional order later.
P: Well, I'll consider the possibility. By the way, when do I have to open the L/C, if I want the goods to be delivered in June?
L: A month before the time you want the goods to be delivered.
P: Could you possibly affect shipment more promptly?
L: Getting the goods ready, making out the documents and booking the shipping space … all this takes time you know. You cannot expect us to make delivery in less than a month.
P: Very well, Mr. Li. I'll not reduce my order. I'll take the full quantity you offer. And I'll arrange for the L/C to be opened in your favor as soon as I get home.
L: When will that be?
P: Early next week. In the meantime, I should be very pleased if you would get everything ready. I hope that the goods can be dispatched promptly after you get my L/C.
L: You can rest assured of that. We'll book your order and inquire for the shipment space now, so that shipment can be affected within two or three after receipt of your L/C.
P: That'll be fine. I appreciate your cooperation.
L: Very good. Well, thanks to your cooperation, our discussion has been very pleasant and fruitful. I sincerely hope that the volume of trade between us will be even greater in future.
P: I hope so too. Now that everything is settled, let's have a cup of tea, and get our minds off business for a change.
