A: Hello! I’d like to send this package to New York.
B: Hello there. What are the dimensions and weight of the package, please?
A: It’s about 30cm by 20cm by 15cm, and it weighs around 2 kilograms.
B: Okay. And what are the contents?
A: It’s a gift – some clothes and books.
B: Alright. We have several shipping options. Standard shipping will take about 7-10 business days and costs $15. Express shipping will take 2-3 business days and costs $30. A: Hmm, I think I’ll go with the standard shipping.
B: Okay. Please fill out this customs declaration form. You’ll need to describe the contents and their value.
A: Sure. (Fills out the form) Here you go.
B: Thank you. That-will be $15. Do you need tracking for this? Standard shipping includes basic tracking.
A: Yes, that-would be great.
B: Here’s your receipt and the tracking number.
A: Perfect. Thank you for your help!
B: You’re welcome! Have a nice day.
A: Good morning! How can I help you today?
B: Good morning. I’d like to send this letter to London, please.
A: Alright. Do you want to send it regular mail or registered mail?
B: What’s the difference?
A: Regular mail is our standard service. Registered mail requires a signature upon delivery and provides tracking information. It’s more secure.
B: I think regular mail will be fine this time. How much will it be?
A: Let me weigh it for you. … Okay, that will be $5.50.
B: Here you go.
A: Thank you. Do you need anything else?
B: No, that’s all. Thanks!
A: Have a good day!
Clerk: Good morning! How can I help you today?
Customer: (With a slightly worried expression) Morning. I have… I have a very important letter. Actually, I’ve wanted to send it for a very long time.
Clerk: Oh really? Where is it going?
Customer: To… to the past. Is that possible?
Clerk: (Slightly surprised, then smiles gently) Unfortunately, our delivery system doesn’t quite reach the dimension of time, Sir/Madam. But, what is the current destination address? Perhaps there’s another way to ensure your letter arrives in a special way.
Customer: (A little disappointed, then sighs) Oh, right. Sorry, I’m just feeling melancholic. The address is in Yogyakarta. I want to send it with the most… attentive service.
Clerk: I understand. In that case, how about our express service with a special “Please Read Carefully” sticker? We also have limited edition vintage-designed envelopes if you’d like.
Customer: That’s a wonderful idea! I’ll take the vintage envelope and the express service. Thank you for understanding.
Clerk: It’s my pleasure. I hope your letter brings happiness.
