| The usual pattern for bugs I report is: Bricklink says "ah, well that's funny!",
nothing happens, and I give up, but this time I will try again, since this one
really is a nuisance. I need to go over all of my shipping methods one by one
and change it every time I adjust my minimum order (and lose the old settings).
So, one more time...
Bricklink, please, remove this pointless restriction. There is no reason why
my minimum order can't be higher than my shipping method minimum orders.
The store minimum should simply override it.
In fact it frustrates the bypass procedure, because I cannot control which shipping
methods become available when someone gets the bypass password (not sure if they
get any at all - they might end up with none). Simply allow shipping methods
to have a low minimum. Should be a simple change.

It is also a pain if you temporarily want to have a high minimum order value.

Exactly. I just wanted to increase it for a week to catch up with errands, but
it makes me check and modify 10 shipping methods, twice.. I always hope I didn't
forget one when I'm putting it back.

To be fair the entire design of the shipping methods and chosen countries is
not the best. For a store with multiple boxes (we have 3 LL and 11 SP) it would
be a nightmare and a half to set up for IC. They got the design wrong and have
continuously decided against changing it. Design is key in development but understanding
the application from a users perspective is also a vital cog. When the site is
finally re-written, (if and when, of course) we hope things like this will be
taken into account.
