Ordering: Avoid Minimum Charges (Part 7 of 9)

Avoid minimum charges on small orders. Many bending operations have standard minimum charges, such as a setup fee for each bending machine. If you order only one bend, your unit cost for the bend can be three times or more than your unit cost if you had ordered 10 bends or more. So consider grouping orders of different bends, or if the bend is a repeat need, consider increasing the order quantity to reduce the unit cost.
