Customers pay their freight bills initially and Atlantic credits them quarterly.</p> <p>To qualify as a partnership account, customers must purchase $20,000 or more in fasteners each year and be in good credit standing. </p> <p>Atlantic president Tony Peterson said, “We offer the program to about 70 customers annually and it’s been well received during the first nine years.” He cited an increase in shipping costs in the interim as why the company decided on the hike. “We want to treat our loyal customers fairly," he remarked.</p> <p align="left"> </p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> </td> </tr> </table> <font size="3" face="Times New Roman, Times, serif">  </font> <div id="footer"> <p class="bodysmall">© 2011 Atlantic Fasteners, 49 Heywood Avenue, P.O.
