Telephone Conversation (Transcript)

Sammy

Hello, this is Cloud Print. You’re speaking to Sammy.

George

Hi, I’d like to make an enquiry and possibly place an order.

Sammy

No problem. Do you have an account with us?

George

Yes. The last order was three months ago.

Sammy

I see. Could you give me the name please?

George

Yes, it’s George Kensley.

Sammy

Is that K-E-N-S-L-Y?

George

No, sorry, there’s an 'E'. K-E-N-S-L-E-Y.

Sammy

Okay, I’m just going to check the address. 34 Mason Avenue?

George

That's correct.

Sammy

What can I help you with?

George

I was wondering if I could make an order and have it delivered to an address in Belgium?

Sammy

That shouldn’t be a problem. We have a few different shipping options available.

George

Oh, great! I need 7,000 A5 flyers and 450 A3 posters.

Sammy

We actually have a special offer at the moment on A3 posters. We can print 500 for €80 euro.

George

How much does it cost for 450 posters?

Sammy

Hmm, let me see. Usually, the price for 450 units is €76.50, so you can get 50 extra copies for €3.50. That's just 7c a copy. It’s a good deal.

George

That sounds good. I’ll take the deal for 500 posters. Can you tell me the total price for the order, please?

Sammy

Yes, sure. So that is 7,000 flyers and 500 posters. Altogether, that will come to €1,380 plus packing and shipping.

George

Hmm. That’s a bit more costly than I expected. What are the options for shipping? We need the order to arrive before the 13th of November.

Sammy

I see. Well, then, you have two options. With our fast track delivery I can guarantee the order will arrive in Belgium by the 9th November at the very latest. With our standard delivery, it's very likely everything will arrive in time for the 13th, but I can’t guarantee it.

George

Okay. I understand. Could you let me know the cost of each?

Sammy

Yes, I should be able to. Obviously, there is quite a bit of weight in those packages. 64.5 kilos for the flyers and 9.36 kilos for the posters. I’m just searching for a quote for the total weight, which is around 74 kilos.

Actually, the quote I am getting here is not too bad. 86 Euros including the packaging for the fast track delivery. How does that sound?

George

That's not too bad at all.

Sammy

So, the total amount for the order is 1,466 Euro.

George

And everything will arrive in time for the 9th of November?

Sammy

Yes, don’t worry.

George

Can I give you the address?

Sammy

Yes, that would be great. I’m ready to take it down now.

George

Great. It’s the Theatre in Vingt Square. That’s V-I-N-G-T.

Sammy

Okay. I’ve got that on the system. Is the postal code JHRF7W?

George

Yes, it’s JHRF7W. That's right.

Sammy

Fantastic. I’ll email the invoice to you now, so you can check the details, and then we can proceed with the order. Is that alright?

George

That sounds great. The email address is georgekensley784@stagestories.ie.

Sammy

I have that under your account.

George

Thank you. Goodbye.

Sammy

Goodbye.
