Dear Mrs. Richards.

Thani'l }.'ou for )/our recent inquiry abouf the range of goods pro<luced by Patel
Pottery. It is my great pleasure to send ,vou a copy of our latest cataiog.
W'e are a srnall family-run business, and as such, do not produce lar_ee quantities
of any of our items. Each itern that appears in our catalog is limited to a production
run of 10. This means that only ten of each item is ever produced.
On occasion, if a particular itern produces a great demand, then u,e mav recreate
it, but we prefer to keep the individualitl, of our products and steer clear of rnass
production. This is because of our philosophy of craftsmanship. We feel thaf once
our potters are asked to make things in large numbers" the1, risk losing the sense of
craftsmatiship and begin to feel like a mass production conveyc,r- belt. Of course,
this does mean that our prices are sonle\vhat higher than in the average store, but
I am sure 1'ou u'ill agree that it is u,orth the cost tcl be able to own a more unique
piece of pottery.
If you see anything in our catalog tirat catches your eye, or if y,ou have a ,lesign
of 1'6u, own that you would like rnade, the best v,,ay to place an order is to call me
at 088-799-8000. You can als. check our our u,ebsite ar wlLug4t§lplso.lk.

Ma¡: §u t
l)ear Sirs. t
I recenti¡r purchased a new car battery at the Dar¡iston branch of Advance Autoparts. t
The mechánics installed this battery, for me. anC I rirove home. Once I arrived horne, I read
the receipt r,'¡hich I had been girien. I nodced that there seemed to be some additional t
charges. I was charged for the following: t
l. 1 car battery 5. Reconrrection of cables c
2. Battery jnstaliation 6' Disposai of old batter-v
3. Cable corrosion check 7' h{echanic's sen'ice fee c
4. Cabie cleaning il. Ta-x (
I feel that it is rather excesslirre to charge a separate fee for items 2 and 5. T
Connecting the cables is mereh¡ part of the installadon process. I aiso feel that it is inappropriate
to har¡e charged an additi.onal meciranic's fee-surely I am already pa]¡ing tl:ie mechanic in I
item 2 for the instailation. I
Finallll I'would have appreciated knowing in adrrance that I n¡ouid be charged for disp,:sa1 of
the old barteru Had I knonm this, I u,ould have lil<ed to harre taken it for disposal m1'se1f, slnce
t
the public garbage disposal sire does NOT charge a fee- t
Perhaps Advance Autoparts r,r,ouid like to consider giving custolners a hreakdoum of costs t
before carning out repairs. I, for one, u,ould probabllr not have used -vour sen'rces had I I
knor,rm exacth¡ rnüat I u¡ould be charged for.
