[speaker001:] We have settled the question of price, quality and quantity. Now I am calling to talk about the terms of payment. What are your terms of payment?
[speaker002:] Well. We only accept the payment to be made by confirmed and irrevocable L \ C, payable against shipping documents.
[speaker001:] I see. Payment by LC is the safest method, but could you make an exception and accept DA or DP?
[speaker002:] I'm afraid not. That is our usual practice, because we are sure we will get the right amount of money that way.
[speaker001:] What about the cost of delivery?
[speaker002:] We would like to do it in accordance with an F. O. B.
