NCI Levies Shipping/Handling Charge for Bulk Orders of Cancer Publications

Format: Info
Institute: National Cancer Institute (NCI)

Anyone looking for information about cancer can receive free booklets from NCI on a large variety of topics. Brochures and similar information resources are also shipped free for small orders. However, NCI now needs to charge a fee to help cover shipping and handling costs on orders of more than 20 items, which are considered bulk orders. Orders for more than 20 items have a shipping and handling fee of 10 cents per copy, with a minimum charge of $5. Some discounts are available. These charges are necessary because of Federal Government budgetary constraints and NCI's desire to meet increasing cancer information demands.
