3). What does the woman suggest?
Adding more weight
Ordering more items
Buying from another company
Using faster shipping -- CORRECT

Why not: Ordering more items?
Thanks

Well, basically you can find the answer here:

With standard shipping, it will get there within 7 to 10 business days. If you need it sooner, we should use expedited shipping. That would cost $30 instead of $15 for standard, but it would guarantee arrival within 3 to 5 days.

"Expedited shipping" means 'faster shipping'.

Thank You Mr Torsten, but the text quoted below doesn't say about: ordering more items?
Would it be possible to order additional items for the same shipping fee?
— Sure. You could add up to 25 pounds on your order...

I'm torn apart between these two answers: 'ordering the items' and 'using faster shipping'..

Hi Saneta,

As I see it, part of the confusion here is that both parts seem to have been read by a man -- the same man. Apparently, the man tried to make his voice sound like a woman for one of the parts. Still, it's pretty obvious to me that both roles have been done by the same person.

At any rate, when the reader used his slightly higher pitched voice, "she" suggested the using expedited shipping. The part about adding up to 25 pounds without additional cost was purely informational, not a suggestion. It provided information in response to a question from the "man".
