Задание 4. Read the dialogue and answer the questions.

Jon:  Jon Frederikson,  Export Logistics.

Sonja:  Hi Jon, this is Sonja. I’m just phoning about your email.

Jon: Hi Sonja. Thanks for getting back to me so quickly. So what can we do about GLP in France?

Sonja:  I think we’ve really got a problem here. Unfortunately, we can’t use one of our regular forwarders for this shipment. I’ve talked to all of them and the fastest service would take 48 hours.

Jon: Can’t we use someone that specializes in express deliveries?

Sonja: Not really. I’ve checked this option too, but I’m not sure it would work for us because they offer a very limited loading capacity. This means that we would have several smaller partial deliveries. And we’d have to pay a lot more as a result.

Jon: Hmm. What about the weekend delivery? That’s possible, isn’t it?

Sonja:  I’m afraid not. We can’t deliver at the weekend because of the HGV driving ban on Saturdays and Sundays.

Jon: Oh dear. I had no idea this delivery would cause so many problems. I’ll talk to GLP again and will get back to you later. Thanks for your help.

Sonja: No problem. Speak to you soon. Bye.

Jon: Bye.
