A：Oh ,yes ,and I’ve come to place an order with you.We like the design of your ivory carvings.

B： My company will send you an official confirmation soon.But there are few questions sought to be settled.For example,the cost for sending the goods.

A： Yes ,I see.We quoted you as warehouse price..If you want me to give you the price FOB,that would cover the transport from our house to deck and all the handling and shipping charges that will include wharfage,porterage,buck dues and port rates,leaving to pay the sea freights and marine insurance.Is that what you want?

B：No .I think we should prefer to have an idea of the total costs delivering right to our port.

A： Then what about an CIF price?That would cover the cost of the goods to make ….,an comprehensive insurance with a clause from warehouse to warehouse.All the forwarding and shipping charges are free payed to your port.

B： But there will be a few things left for us to pay.

A：Yes ,the charges …for your forward agent for

clearing the goods ,paying custome duties and arranging delivery to your sight.I can get the CIF prices worked out when we go on talking.Miss Li,take this price quotation to the shipping department and get them to work out CIF prices for Mr Wise ,will you?

B： I would like to ask you next, Mr Joe, about

delivery.How soon can it be effected?

A： We will take partial deliveries.I mean,we could let you have ,say 1/3 of the order from the order immediately from the stock.And this can be dispatched just as soon as we can get the shipping space.In this case,I suggest you make your order on shipping schedule devided in three,each within interval of 3 weeks.

B： Good.

A： And final consignment would be for forward delivery at a future time when the goods are available from the mills.

B： Excuse me ,but we should like to have the definite date for the last shipment.

A： Of course.you can stipulate in your order saying

final shipment not later than such a date,some dates on which we could agree which could be met by the mill’s supply.

B： Good .That is I know the best they can do.

A： That depends on their production program and the orders they have on the books.I should inquire ,not about yourself,you are not pressed for time,aren’t you?

B： Oh,no.

A： Good,well.While Miss Li is typing out this

quotation ,perhaps you’ll have something to drink with me.

B： Thank you very much.I should like to.

B： Good morning,Mr Mater ,welcome to our factory again.
