Dear Victor,

Thank you so much for your efforts and cooperation. 

We confirm that 1^st shipment: 25th of September – 1,365 KIT is completely acceptable for us.

However, we have a concern regarding the 2^nd delivery.

The Ministry prefers to reschedule 2^nd shipment (27th of September – 6,635 KIT)  over the next two weeks, if it is possible, to avoid the Freight cost changing.

We understand that it is a difficult situation with the flights, however, we would appreciate it if could try to arrange to load all 6,635Kits without modification in the Contract Price.

Looking forward to hearing from you  as early as possible.

Best,

პატივისცემით,

Dear Nino and Maia

I hope you are good.

I`m really appreciate your kind understanding.

Below is confirmed flight schedule we arranged.

1. Shipment

1^st shipment: 25^th of September – 1,365 KIT

2^nd shipment: 27^th of September – 6,635 KIT -> We have successfully arranged to load all 6,635Kits in the second shipment. It is difficult to cancel the flight schedule because it is hard to book in a situation where there is a lot of volume. Therefore, please confirm this schedule. Refer to system, 2^nd flight will be landed to Georgia on very next day, 28^th of September.

2. Freight cost

Freight cost has been changed from 60,500 USD to 68,520 USD.

I would appreciate if you confirm whether it is acceptable to change the contents of the contract and send it to you.

If any concerns, please let me know.

Best regards,

Dear Viktor,

We understand reasons. However it is very important to know exactly  when tests will be delivered to Georgia.

Please update us on timeline(s) whenever possible.

Kind regards,

Nino

Dear Maia and Nino

I hope you are good.

I would like to announce regarding shipment.

1. 1^st dispatch – 1,365 Kit

It is confirmed that it will be shipped on 25^th of September, earliest schedule which we can arrange.

2. 2^nd dispatch – 6,635 Kit

We are arranging flight, 27^th of September. But it has not confirmed yet. I`m sorry to say but I have to indicate very important issue.

If you ship on the 27th, a slightly higher shipping fee will be charged than the previously announced shipping fee. It is because the last week of September is Thanksgiving day in Korea, 30 of Sep ~ 4^th of Oct. It is the end of the month and the holidays are overlapping, so airlines are avoiding oversized cargo.

Therefore, it is difficult to confirm now that the remaining 6,635 Kits will be available for the second shipment. In this case, a third shipment may occur, and additional shipping charges will be added.

We will try to dispatch it ASAP without any problem. Please understand this hard situation.

If any concerns, please let me know.

Best regards,
