For starters, even if you only order one thing, know exactly what you want, 
and are off the phone (toll free- they're paying) in just a few minutes, it 
takes a certain amount of time and money to answer the phone, pack it, etc. 
But realistically, often we need to ask questions, and that takes a lot 
longer. Sometimes we ask questions, like how to get our window back on 
track, then say "Thanks!" and buy nothing, like I did with Rob Grady this 
week. So a minimum order is common in any business that ships. Or an added 
fee. One of the companies my business buys from upped their minimum to $500. 
per delivery... (their truck.) It's a reasonable request, even if it is 
inconvenient at times. I sometimes add on an oil filter to go over the 25 if 
it's just a small order, or wait until I need more stuff. Keep a needs list 
... you'll get to $25. soon enough.
