DesktopPapers.com Minimum Order value reduced!

We have reduced our minimum order value from $14.90 to $8.95. With the smaller value, our customers will be able to buy a more minimal amount of items. $8.95 is the cost of our 100 sheet stationery paper packs.

You may ask, “Why do you even need a minimum order value?” It is very simple really. We do not charge for handling. Handling is the time it takes to import your orders into our system, process them, pull them, and pack them to be shipped. Therefore, the smaller the order, the more it costs for us. For instance, take our single sheet scrapbooking paper. One sheet of this is $0.64. If a customer were to order 10 sheets, we would get an order for $6.40, but we would have to pull 10 different items and pack them! Therefore, we need a minimum.

Anyway, I hope that this change will help satisfy more customers and make their experience with us much better!

Thanks!
