Messenger Service Rate Increase

Due to an increase in costs to operate the Messenger Service we are announcing a modest rate increase. This is the first rate increase for Messenger Service since 1994. The following chart compares the current rate per pick-up and delivery with the new rate:

	Current	New
Campus	$5.00	$6.00
Medical Center	$7.50	$8.50
Off-campus	$10.00	$12.00

The new rates will take effect November 1, 2004. Your use of our services is appreciated and we will continue to improve our processes to keep costs low. For detailed information on Messenger Services rates, please refer to http://blink.ucsd.edu/go/messenger.

If you have questions, please contact Fred Gomez at (858) 534-1167 or Bob Trout at (858) 534-0508.
