Dear Valued Customer:

Due to an upcoming increase to the rates we are charged for Workers Compensation and other related insurance’s, Aliso again finds itself in the position of needing to provide a fair and rewarding salary for our personnel as well as fair and equitable rates for our clients. Therefore, we find it necessary to institute an increase in our rates. This is never an easy task, and we are proud of the fact that we have not had any changes to our rates since January 1, 2001. We realize that you, our valued clients, have a higher level of expectation with our service, and we intend to continue to provide our service to your satisfaction. If you would like to receive a new rate schedule, please contact our office. Rates for overnight and same day service will not be affected.

The rate increase shall be as follows:
$10.00 - $19.00 jobs will increase by $1.00
$20.00 - $29.00 jobs will increase by $2.00
$30.00 - $39.00 jobs will increase by $3.00
$40.00 - $49.00 jobs will increase by $4.00
$50.00 - $59.00 jobs will increase by $5.00
$60.00 - $69.00 jobs will increase by $6.00
$70.00 - $79.00 jobs will increase by $7.00
$80.00 - $89.00 jobs will increase by $8.00

Please remember: the volume discounts will not be affected, therefore, those clients that currently meet the discount volumes will, in effect, receive no increase (provided minimums are continuously met).

Thank you for your continued patronage.

Sincerely,
Keith Williams
President, Aliso Messenger and Courier
