Unit Five  Delivery Lead –in Delivery of goods means that the sellers deliver the contracted goods at the agreed time, place and in the agreed manner to buyers. In international trade, how to deliver the goods quickly and safely is essential to the buyers and the sellers. In this unit we will focus on some important items in delivery negotiation. Explanation and comments on the text Now go through the “Introduction” For your reference: ☆Supply of the goods货源情况 The sellers should make sure that they have enough time for the production and preparation of the goods. 在谈判中卖方要保证自己有足够的生产、备货的时间 ☆Transportation 运输情况 Delivery is accomplished by means of transportation. What means of transportation to be selected depends on the shipment, voyage, and the conditions of the port. The sooner you can get the steamer the earlier you can make the delivery. 交货是通过各种运输方式来完成。运输方式的选择取决于船舶、航线以及港口条件。船只获得越早，交货就能越早的完成。 ☆Conditions of the goods (货物本身的情况) Some goods are seasonal, so they need sooner shipment to catch the selling season.
