Dear Jason,
Re: 5,000 pcs of Christmas Gifts
As we talked with you over the phone, the load of Order No. 52733 could be shipped to Hong Kong next week and then transported to Sydney.
However, we will ask you to bear the additional cost, not less than RMB 25,000.00, for collecting goods from Hong Kong to Sydney, because we required in the contract that you ship the goods from Shenzhen to Sydney directly by Oct. 15, and we’ve already sold this load to our client.

BTW, the goods have missed the good season for us. We’ll reserve the right to ask the compensation for this load from you. According to the international trade operations, making booking is before loading. Would you pls explain why?
Hope you understand and looking forward to hearing from you asap.
Thanks & Kind regards,
