How much tea are you going to order ?   We want to order 3,000 cases and hope to deliver the goods in two equal lots .   When do you want to deliver the goods ?   We'd like you to execute the first delivery by June 30 and the second delivery by August 15 .   I'm sorry , but June 30 is quite soon . I can't guarantee 1 500 cases , I'd prefer the first shipment to be 1,000 cases and the next 2,000 cases .   I can agree to that .   Let me affirm this again - the first shipment of 1,000 cases , to be delivered in 27 days , by June 30 , and the second shipment of 2,000 cases by August 15 . Right ?   Right .   Well , if there's nothing else , I think we've settled everything .   Let's hope it's the beginning of a long and prosperous relationship .
