charging for minimum length

[joe]

I was wondering how many of you charge for a minimum moulding length. I just located a way to do this in my POS system. I set mine at 6 ft.

 

[Paul N]

That's about right. I charge 5 minimum.

 

[Bill Henry-]

Four feet for me.

Three, do I hear three? Going once …

 

[evartpat]

Four feet here too..........

 

[Jerry Ervin]

Four

 

[Jeff Rodier]

Four

 

[Pat Murphey]

Whatever my supplier uses. I use chops, LJ join program, and closed corner.

 

[UzZx32QU]

No minimum length per frame; however, mats, glass, fitting and all other charges have minimums.

framer

 

[Mike Labbe]

Ours is set to 4 also

 

[JFeig]

.... mats, glass, fitting and all other charges have minimums.

I agree with that as well

 

[RParrish]

Four is what most vendors charge if you where to order chop, I pass that along unless it's a moulding I have instock then I charge actual footage used.

Jeez Randy, for a 5x7 and you would leave 3' on the table.....

Same labor, and four just almost covers it.

There is a reason that vendors now have "Minimum orders" of $35-$50..... because they have to pay the labor of the person who goes and pulls the moulding and chops it.
S&H is and should not be part of that.

FOUR ALSO

FORE!

I charge whatever my particular supplier charges. Most are 4, and I think one or two may have 3 1/2.

 

[nikfrz]

Oh, I forgot to add, if it is stock moulding, I dont charge a minimum. Suppose I should.

Four for length or chop and whatever the minimum is from the vendor for closed corner.
