SERVICE FEE STRUCTURE
DIESEL AND ENVIRONMENTAL FEE
Lewis is committed to controlling operating costs so we can continue to provide you with the best overall value. However, diesel costs and environmental compliance costs imposed by the EPA cannot be fully controlled and they significantly increase the operating rates of our delivery fleet. Lewis’ Diesel and Environmental Fee is meant to help us partially cover these additional expenses.
DELIVERY CHARGE
Lewis has a delivery charge on orders totaling less than $250. Orders delivered outside of our regular delivery routes may require a dollar amount higher than $250. Direct shipments, UPS shipments, non-stock and/or special orders are subject to freight and/or handling charges where applicable. Orders that fall below our order minimum are subjected to a $25.00 small order charge.
CUSTOM CUTTING
Billing & Rates
All cutting and converting charges will be billed as a separate line item on the invoice in addition to the price of the full-size sheets. Special or custom cutting or wrapping will be charged according to the time spent at $25.00 per hour. We will not cut any paper stock to less than 40 square inches. All sales are final on special-cut stock. Any cut job needed for next day availability must be arranged with Customer Service and placed prior to 2 p.m.
