We understand that instead of two equal shipments in January and February next year, you now wish to have 80% of the goods shipped in November and the balance in December this year. In reply, we wish to inform you that although we are in a position to supply you with the goods against the above order from stock we are advised by the shipping company that because direct vessels, whether liner or tramp, sailing for your port are few and far between, the shipping space has been fully booked up to the end of November. In the circumstances, we regret being unable to meet your request. However, if you would allow transshipment at Hong Kong we would do our best to make further contacts with the shipping company for the shipment of the first lot of the goods in November. In this case, you must bear the additional charges. In spite of this, we wonder if the goods in question will reach you earlier than the originally scheduled time. Please take the above into consideration and let us know your decision as early as possible. Letter 2 About the Shipment Dear Sirs, Your E-mail of yesterday has been received with thanks.
