[QUOTE="tristan, post: 1788, member: 30"] but, you also have the cost of processing the honey. it cost to heat, to run through spinfloat/filters and that all takes time. which is why we charge more for small runs because of the downtime waiting for the honey to go through the system. typically 8 framers are 3/4 boxes and have similar honey volume to FD's. but 8 framers bridge a lot more, so that slows things down. also many beeks have an unknown number of 9's thrown in the mix, especially when they have a mix of frame sizes. however the biggest issue is that it becomes an excuse to haggle over the price. same problem with charging by the frame. eg you don't extract the empty frames and some beeks expect not to pay for those frames. yet it takes time to sort them etc. its just simpler to charge by the box, regardless of size or how much honey is in them. that way everyone gets treated the same regardless of what they run and what condition its in.
