Shipping Costs

Rising Cost of Shipping! Internet Services has fought hard to keep shipping costs economical for our IBO’s. We have held the line for 5 years but yearly rate increases and rising fuel costs have now pushed shipping costs higher than we can continue to absorb. All major carriers have announced major rate increases again for 2012. Starting May 1st 2012, we are forced to pass some additional cost on to IBO’s.Internet will continue to be diligent in keeping costs low. We will be changing our tier pricing structure from 9 levels to 6 and implementing all Flat Rates instead of % of sales at higher values. US Orders For US IBO’s we are raising rates a modest $0.25 per tier for orders less than $100. Orders above $100 will be flat rates standard ship categories. Expedited shipments and Air will require call for quotes. Standard service is our most economical choice. In most cases these will ship via the Postal Services and can only be used for orders under $100. Transit time will be 7 to 10 days in the US. We continue to offer UPS 3-Day Select as well as 2nd Day and Next Day Air services with UPS/FedEx.

Land’s End Info

As we discussed in Orlando, any EiBiz affiliated IBO can now go to the Lands End Business Outfitters website and order any product with the EiBiz team logo. Here is the process:

· Check out the Lands End Business website (www.landsend.com/business) to select items to order · Do not attempt to setup an account online with your first order. Call the Lands End Business customer service department at (800) 587-1541 to setup your account. The process is quick and easy. They are open 7am to 7pm CDT. · Be sure to have the EiBiz logo (#1230486) added to your profile. The standard logo is “EI” in red and “Biz” in black (see attached logo). There is a standard charge of $5.95 to add a logo to each item ordered. · Select the items you wish to order. If the item is a dark colored item (i.e. black shirt), you can ask them to change the thread color of “Biz” from black to white so that it will contrast the background. There is no extra charge to change the thread color. · After your account has been setup, all future orders can be placed online, or you can continue to shop by phone. · If you are ordering a cap, there is a unique logo #. It is 1232369C. Again, the thread colors can be changed at no extra charge.

I hope this helps. I’m excited to promote our affiliation with the EiBiz team!

As always, I’m proud to be part of the EiBiz team! Go EI!
