What’s Up, Doc? January - February 2024 Dear Owners and Associates: As we enter the final month of the first quarter in 2024, we hope everyone is off to an excellent start. Here in the Lee’s Summit, MO area, the average daily temperature in the month of January was hovering around 15 degrees Fahrenheit, with several days dipping below –15 degrees. I know the temperatures in our part of the country would probably feel like spring time for our partners in the northern states. Needless to say, we’re all looking forward to the warmer months that are rapidly approaching. To get 2024 started on a positive note, Dr. Vinyl corporate is super excited to introduce a new policy that will allow owners and associates to save money. Effective March 1, 2024 the Dr. Vinyl Parts Department is offering Free Freight on all orders exceeding $300.00. There are some requirements that must be met in order to receive this special offer. • •

All purchases must be made through the Dr. Vinyl Parts Department Warehouse in Lee’s Summit, MO. You must sign up for ACH (Automatic Clearing House) to allow Dr. Vinyl to automatically receive payment for all purchases on the 15th of the following month in which you purchased the product. All in-house orders only totaling $300.00 or more, we will pay the freight. However, if you request a freight service other than standard UPS ground service, the free freight policy is waived. There will be a $10.00 per box packaging and handling fee.
This new policy will be in effect from March 1, 2024 – December 20, 2024. After this initial period, we will re-evaluate the success of the program. If we do not see an increase in purchases from the Dr. Vinyl Parts department, which will help us increase our buying power for the entire franchise system, we may be forced to discontinue this policy. Please feel free to call or email me, richard@drvinyl.com, if you have any questions. Sincerely, Richard Reinders CEO
