Modifying an order
Mr. Zhang: Good morning, Mr. Anke. Nice to see you again. How may I help you?
Mr. Anke: Nice to see you, too. I've come to talk about some modifications we need on our last order, the one we gave you two days ago.
Mr. Zhang: Fine. But I hope you aren't worried about the quality. As I said on the telephone, you can rest assured that our quality is unsurpassed. We are a prestigious company in our industry with more than 20 years' experience.
Mr. Anke: Yes, of course. Your quality, specifications and styles are great. But, I want to alter some aspects of the packaging. You know, we pay a lot of attention to packaging.
Mr. Zhang: Of course. Our usual practice for the products you ordered is, first, to put them into a transparent plastic wrapper as inner packaging, then, to put these into a cardboard box, or wooden case if you prefer, as outer packaging. Do you want to change the inner or outer packaging?
Mr. Anke: Cardboard boxes are all right with us. They're usually used in long-distance shipments and they seem safe. It's the inner packaging we have a problem with.
Mr. Zhang: Using plain plastic wrappers protects the product and it saves on cost.
Mr. Anke: But we need it to be decorative as well. There needs to be a proper design and some colour to make it attractive to European tastes. I have the design here on this CD—it's a PDF file.
Mr. Zhang: That's fine. In that case, do you want us to provide a polythene wrapper?
Mr. Anke: Yes, with the design on both sides. Thank you.
Mr. Zhang: OK. I know packaging is important for sales. Attractive packaging will attract
customers. The outer packaging only concerns the importers. But I have to say, the changes will increase the cost.
Mr. Anke: By how much?
Mr. Zhang: About 6%, I think. I'll have to confirm that with you.
Mr. Anke: That's OK. But please put design of different colour in each box to make it more convenient for us to distribute to our retailers.
Mr. Zhang: Sure, I'll write that down now. Do you have any other requirements on packaging?
Mr. Anke: Well, just one more thing. Please remember to put our logo on each cardboard box. The logo is also on the CD. Please follow the pattern and colour exactly.
Mr. Zhang: Of course. Can I keep the CD?
Mr. Anke: Certainly. That's all I want to confirm with you. But we should make a revision to the draft contract. Do you have anything you need to talk to me about?
Mr. Zhang: No, everything is fi ne. We'll get on to our Packing Department to make the changes as per your requirements. If you would care to wait for a moment, my assistant will prepare the formal order so that we can sign it immediately.
Mr. Anke: Great. You're very efficient.
