Re: Motion regarding purchase of Magazine Binders


Other factors to consider for pricing the binder. What is it going to
cost to mail/ship a binder to the customer? (At this time without knowing
the size or weight we would hazard to guess. It would not be
classified/shipped as Media Mail (Book rate). What are the shipping
charges to Madison or the AIS Storefront? We do not  think we should ship
200 to Madison and turn around and have to pay for shipping back to the
AIS Storefront. We are talking about a bulky item for shipping. If the
Board decides to purchase the binder, we highly recommend that we also
purchase the box for shipping. That is going to be a cost whether we
purchase the box with the binder or if we at the AIS Storefront have to
purchase a box from another source.
 According to our figures, 200 binders w/boxes plus the dye cost,
purchase price is  $7.05 per binder. To this we need to add all the
shipping/mailing cost.
