That's down to your pricing model, I guess.  If you price based on 'costs +
X%', then email should (probably) be cheaper (depending on how much computer
kit / connectivity you have anyway).  If you price based on 'what it's worth'
or 'what the market will bear', I don't see any need to differentiate.

(I'm quite happy with DW's pricing, for what it's worth)

The 'excitement' of waiting for a crucial turn and getting a result that says
"You didn't send any orders this turn..." because the PO took three days to
move them a couple of hours travel west makes me *want* to get blood flowing...

Partly my fault for pushing too close to deadlines, I guess.
