Dear Milliniumplus,
Your WDF fold rate ofs 70cent per pound is only for wash and fold not delivery to the costumer site, right?? I would imagince that to provide the deliver service along with wash/fold - the price would be heigher than 0.70 per pound.
Right??

Right now we do not offer pickup and delivery service because it's just not profitable
enough. We are working to firm up a relationship with a senior citizens apartment
where we would pick up on a certain day(Mon) and return it on a certain day (Wed). We would
pickup/deliver for multiple clients at one place and charge a flat fee of say $5.00 (per person).
We have 3 seniors who drop off/pickup their own stuff. They want us to offer pickup/delivery.
They have given us contact information with the senior complex management. We have our sales
pick ready to go and hope to go door to door trying to get more seniors committed to our services
2/2004. So our prices WDF price would be the same and we would add on a flat fee per person.
