So, we have negotiated the prices, the delivery times, the quantities, the means of payment ... etc. etc.
Now, they are asking for samples!
Surely, that should have been done right at the beginning!
And they don't know the logistics of sending a parcel from a small town in provincial Africa!
First, I have to send money out there
Then my partner, using the money has to buy the samples
Then he has to package them up and post them.
This is in hand (I hope) but I don't know how long it will take 1kg of soapstone to get to the middle of China.
Still, if they finally honour their initial order, it will have been worth it.
