@mastersdegreenotaries Hmmm . . .
Let’s backup for just a moment. The name of the hiring entity isn’t provided. So, unable to research for you.
You definitively want to ensure that the business entity is reputable prior to extending credit to them for your professional services.
STEP ONE:
It’s important that you have thoroughly vetted this client who is new to you.
There is immediately available information found within the Notary Cafe database. Look there & Search the internet for validation that it’s a reputable business entity & check for any available reviews online about them.
The information in the Notary Cafe database is a GOLDMINE!
Most members express that they find it difficult/NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE to locate the Search Function in order to access the wealth of information available within the database.
To be helpful, I’ve inserted an image for you & others [see below] to help members locate it to unlock the wisdom & knowledge of other members on the forums.
STEP TWO:
Review this thread (direct Notary Cafe url below) that is a Guideline for Creation of your Schedule of Fees.

FYI: For the scheduling coordination, print & preparation time, required time for travel, return trip, scanbacks, upload, another trip out from the office to hand-off the executed document package to the shipper & return results in at least approximately 2 hours (IF everything progresses smoothly & they have no major document queries & if there are no traffic delays).
STEP THREE:
If the hiring business entity is creditworthy, you need to counter offer due to the revealed Signing Order parameters when you received the doc package.
Any document package of that amount by industry standards is considered oversized*. Negotiate your fee for the actual parameters that are now available.
Accessing the database to locate information about potential clients has saved many of us an inordinate amount of time ‘chasing’ payments for Services professionally provided to potential non-payers . . .
