Default Minimum order required?

Minimum order required?
Hey all, the lab I am using requires I submit no less than a $15 order to them when ordering.

How would you word it in the pricing sheet to include Minimum order of ___$$___ required.

In other words, I offer individual prints for 8 x 10, 5 x 7 (two of same pose on one sheet) and 4 x 5 prints and wallets (eight of same pose on one sheet), but need at least a $15 order to use the lab and need to know how to word this so I won't go in the hole $$$ to place orders.

Thanks for any info.

If I am understanding you correctly, you are saying that you are charging your customer for an 8x10 whether it's 2 5x7's on that sheet or a 4x6 plus wallets on that sheet?? Even if that's the case, you are definately not charging enough for your services.

You can always just state that you require a $15 minimum order on your price sheets

Find a different lab.

I'd find a different lab myself.

There's a lot of info you're leaving out. How much does the lab get for an 8x10 sheet and how much do you charge for the same thing.
