Our end-users are waiting for the goods and they are very much surprised that you should have been much behind with the delivery.Please do your utmost to ship the first and second lots together by the end of June; Otherwise our clients would feel dissatisfied with your delay (in shipment) and would probably have to cancel the order by covering their requirements elsewhere.Upon receipt of this letter please let us know the exact date of shipment.P265Dear SirsWe learn from your letter of September 20 that one case of our shipment under your Order No.43 arrived in a badly damaged condition. As the goods were packed in new strong wooden cases suitable for long distance ocean transportation, we can only conclude that the case has been stored and handled carelessly.On receipt of your letter under reply we immediately appointed a surveyor at your end to inspect the damaged case with one of your staff members on the spot where the case was lying. On October 3 came the sur veyor’s report stating that to all appearance the case in question had been either left out in heavy shower of rain, or else dropped into some water, and your staff member being impartial and friendly, on seeing the condition, admitted that it was the case.We then instructed our forwarding department to further investigate the matter. The carrier has been communicated with, and informs us that the whole shipment arrived in good condition. They can be certain that the damage occurred during the time the goods were in your hands. In such circumstances, we regret having to say that we are not liable for the damage.As we know, that case contains some important spare parts of our knitting machines, without which the machines will not work, we shall therefore be pleased to put in hand a repeat of the supply of the spare at the prices invoiced if you think it necessary, and we shall do our best to deliver them to you within a fortnight.We await your reply.。
