HOW TO SHIP!!!

 Use only boxes in very good condition to ship documents.  The box is going to take a beating, so it needs to be sturdy to start with.  DBX has received documents in broken boxes with tire tracks on them before! Also, as boxes get pounded, they don’t hold the documents in place very well

 GAS IS GOING UP!!!

 HERE WE GO AGAIN. The cost of oil is at an all time high and the gas stations are gearing up to catch up. That means we should start to see the gas prices inch up and up over the next couple of weeks. PERFECT! Just in time for the holiday season so we can spend more at the gas pumps. Now if you’re a business owner, you understand what it does to your bottom line. Your costs are going up to heat your office, drive to work, delivery of products, and your own internal transportation costs. What does this have to do with Records Management you ask? Plenty.

 If your one of the business that have a company storing your documents or you have documents stored offsite somewhere, and you frequently visit those files to get information, the costs are going up. Transportation costs will have to go up to meet those demands. These costs are one of the reasons to start looking into your records management practices and figure a way on reducing that burdensome expenditure.
