This is my discussion with Christine at the beginning, I suggest use the cheque payment instead of Letter of credit which can help us to save the bank charges. Because all the amount is not exceed USD10K, but the opening charge for the letter of credit is USD200. So that, Christine told to Mr. Wong to negotiation with the factory to change the payment term. But, there may some misunderstanding between the factory and us. Let me double check with Mr. Wong for the details. |

My suggestion to Christine was that instead of paying by letter of credit, the opening charge of which is USD200, we should pay by cheque because the amount does not exceed USD10K and that would save us on bank changes. After we spoke, Christine told to Mr. Wong to negotiate with the factory to change the payment term. But, there may have been some misunderstanding between the factory and us. Let me double check with Mr. Wong and get back to you. | | The Following User Says Thank You to Soup For This Useful Post: | |

1. My suggestion to Christine was that instead of paying by letter of credit, the opening charge of which is USD200, we should pay by cheque because the amount does not exceed USD10K and that would save us on bank charges. After we spoke, Christine told Mr. Wong to negotiate with the factory to change the payment term. But, there may have been some misunderstanding between the factory and us. Let me double check with Mr. Wong and get back to you.
