And samples of tea. What do you think about them? B: To see is to believe. First I’d like to know the possible date of Shipment before we come to the point. If we buy your stock we can make our arrangements. A: Generally speaking, shipment will be made within two weeks to your country after receipt of your L/C, and it usually takes at least one month and a half to reach your port. Also time of shipment can’t be advanced too much if you prefer direct vessel. Professional Conversation 4 B: Would you please contact your shipping agent for an earlier shipment? Or ship us at least one third of the tea for urgent need of our market. A: I’ll try. B: If you can, the balance will be transshipped. A: If so, you must bear the additional charges. B: No problem. As long as they can reach us before the season. A: You are assured of that if transshipment is allowed. Transshipment in Hong Kong will only take route to your port. I believe the shipment will reach you ahead of your originally scheduled time. B：May the things go as what we expect.
