A call about the desk order
Mostra la trascrizione (prova prima le domande)
Priya: Thanks for sending the quote, Marco. We're very happy with the quality of the samples, but I have to be honest: at one hundred and fifty per desk, you're the most expensive of the three suppliers we've spoken to.
Marco: I appreciate your honesty. Our price reflects the fact that we use solid oak and offer a ten-year guarantee. But I understand you're working to a budget. What figure did you have in mind?
Priya: Ideally, one hundred and twenty-five.
Marco: I'm afraid that would be below what it costs us to make them. However, if you ordered the matching chairs as well, I could bring the desks down to one hundred and forty.
Priya: That's an interesting offer, but chairs weren't part of our plan. Can we talk about delivery? The new building opens on the first of September, and all one hundred and twenty desks need to be in place by then.
Marco: That's where it gets tricky. The workshop is very busy over the summer. Realistically, we could deliver eighty by the end of August and the remaining forty in mid-September.
Priya: That's not ideal. We'd have classes starting in rooms with no furniture.
Marco: Then let me suggest this. If you can confirm the order by Friday, I'll ask my team to work two extra weekends, and we'll deliver everything by the twenty-eighth of August. I could only come down to one hundred and forty-five, though, because of the extra hours.
Priya: So, one hundred and forty-five per desk, everything delivered on time, and the same guarantee?
Marco: Exactly. And we'll include assembly at no extra cost.
Priya: Well, free assembly would save us quite a lot. I'll need to run it past our finance director, but I think we can work with that. I'll call you back on Thursday.
Marco: Great. I'll put it all in writing this afternoon.
