BENSENVILLE, Ill.--June 21, 2002--Quebecor World Logistics recently announced the successful implementation of its R-2001-1 Customer Preparedness Plan. With the postal rate increase going into effect June 30, 2002, QWL understands that it is critical for mailers to be informed about the upcoming changes and the impact on their business. Thus, QWL provides its customers with the necessary support in order to adjust to the new rates and remain competitive in their market. Since the USPS announced the R2001-1 rate case proposal, QWL has acted as a consistent and timely source of accurate information and solutions. "Quebecor World Logistics continues to work closely with industry and USPS officials to prevent businesses that rely heavily on the postal system from being drastically impacted by the increasing rates," said Anita Pursley, QWL Vice President of Postal Affairs. "We want our customers to know that we are representing their mailing needs in all of our postal affairs initiatives." Customers can leverage QWL's strong representation in the mailing industry to gain an accurate understanding of the implications the new rates will have on business. Consumers can now receive answers regarding the upcoming rates by contacting QWL Postal Affairs at [email protected]. Additionally, customers can request an R-2001-1 Rate Case Survival Kit, which includes various mailing-made-easy tools. QWL, the largest business partner of the USPS, created two news publications, NEWS FLASH and LogisticSolutions in order to communicate all postal issues directly to the customer - as news breaks - throughout the rate implementation process. Free subscriptions are available on their customer-friendly Web site, www.quebecorworldlogistics.com. Aside from offering the latest news in the industry, QWL upgraded its Web site to include valuable postal resources to aid customers in achieving profitable mailing strategies. Such resources include postal calculators, rate charts and rate comparisons for all classes of mail.
