Pricing guides
What a piece is worth and what a bill should say: the rate behind the rate, which weight a percentage sits on, and the deductions between the order and the credit.
Everything between the order value and the bank credit: fees you can price, taxes that come back to you, recoveries you can dispute.

Where these sit
Every guide belongs to one of five sections, and a subject like this one cuts across them — a blocked listing is a listing problem on the day it happens and a money problem by the end of the week. The sections read in order; this page does not.
