If I remember correctly , time of delivery is another point on wich we differ .   That's right . Let's go into the details .   Ok . I hope you can have these goods delivered before the end of Sep . We'd like them to be there in time for our Christmas sales .   Christmas doesn't come until almost the end of the year , right ?   But in the United States the Christmas season begins about a month before Dec . 25 .   Well . I am afraid it will be difficult for us to advance the time of shipment . Our manufacturers are fully committed at the moment .   I hope you'll try to get them to step up production .   As new orders keep pouring in , the workers are working three shifts to step up production .   If that's the case , there is nothing more to be said .   I am sorry .   What's your last word as to the date then ?   I said by the middle of Oct . This is the best we can promise .   All right . I'll take you at your word .
