Conflict log
- Calculator uses sale prices where Nostalgic Media publishes both everyday and sale prices.
- The $30 minimum is modeled as a provider-level minimum, though the page describes it as per service; mixed-service orders may need more precise per-service minimum handling.
- Inbound shipping remains customer-paid; return shipping is modeled as the under-$200 case because order-size thresholds can change the final shipping total.
- Slide and negative pages each publish only a single non-tiered DPI figure (slides ~3,000-3,200 DPI; negatives 3,000 DPI) with no lower/higher alternative, so per the DPI-pricing task's base-tier rule these are treated as the base and no slideResolutionPricing tier is recorded.
