Magazine distributor introduces electronic invoice fee

Further to my post last week about Speedimpex introducing a $3.50 delivery fee, they have also introduced a $1.00 charge per electronic invoice. This is set to lose them accounts. Maybe this is what they want.

Check out what one newsagent wrote to them about this:

Today I received Elle Decoration, it was  single title, my cost was $7.50, the delivery charge was $3.50 and the invoice charge was $1, so it has cost me $12.  The retail price for the title is $11.  So I am making a $1 loss for the privilege of selling one of your titles, which is also taking up a pocket that could house a magazine that I actually make money on.

Well said. Maybe Speedimpex will take notice and reverse their decision.
