To get around your difficulty , Mr Smith . I'd suggest that you reduce your order by half . You can send in an additional order later .   Well , I'll consider the possibility . By the way , when do I have to open the L / C if I want the goods to be delivered in June .   A month before the time you want the goods to be delivered .   Could you possibly effect shipment more promptly ?   Getting the goods ready , making out the documents and booking the shipping space , all this takes time you know . You cannot expect us to make delivery in less than a month .
