| | Courier Report FER-2350 DISPATCHED: 00/00/00 DELIVERED: 00/00/00 kate rich 26/6/19 some trade reflections. Having agreed and paid the coffee order 21 months ago these are probably overdue. I spoke on the phone with Álvaro today. He has been - on & off - grappling with the documents. The freight agents try to charge something sky high so he is filing these himself. The uneconomics of small scale, you are treated like a company. So now they are finally all through but he still needs to get the sacks the coffee is contained in compliant. And more details with the shipping company, he thanks me for my patience. |
