In order to help lower the high cost of delivery, we have order minimums for customers (not shareholders). As of November 2015, they are -

BC lower mainland     $ 500

Anywhere else in BC     750
Alberta                1000

Anywhere else          1500

This is calculated by the program WSUPDMIN2, which is called for all stores every night, and for an individual store during partner maintenance in InfoNet. Instead of following the above rule, the order minimum can be overridden. For example, Southwest Central fill is right in our building, so there order minimum has been overridden to a dollar. It is very expensive to ship to Fort Nelson, so the order minimum there overriden from $750 to $1500.
