Read the dialogue below. 

Susan: Doug, can I talk with you for a moment?

Doug: What can I do for you, Susan?

Susan: I'm concerned about the delays we're experiencing with some of our suppliers.

Doug: We're doing everything to get back on schedule.

Susan: Could you give me an approximate timeline?

Doug: Several deliveries are arriving tomorrow. Unfortunately, this time of year is often troublesome.

Susan: That's not good. We can't make excuses for our clients. Are all shipments affected?

Doug: No, but it is summer and some companies are cutting back until September.

Susan: Where are most of our suppliers located?

Doug: Well, most of them are in China, but there are a few in California.

Susan: How does that affect deliveries?

Doug: Well, there are weather delays and shipment delays due to reduced production. Sometimes, larger packages are delayed because of a bottleneck at the distribution point.

Susan: Is there any way around these delays?

Doug: Well, we often work with delivery services such as UPS, FedEx, or DHL for our most urgent shipping. They guarantee door-to-door deliveries within 48 hours.

Susan: Are they expensive?

Doug: Yes, they're very expensive and that cuts into our bottom line.
