3 Important Notes
Note 1: If you have small inventory in our warehouse, we can ship to your customers quickly when you have orders, usually saving about 7 days. If you start ordering from the factory after receiving orders, it will take more time. You need to understand this.
Note 2: If you purchase more products, your per-unit procurement cost will decrease.
Cost Calculation Example
Assumption: Product cost is $1 per unit, domestic shipping rate is $2 per kg, and product weight is 0.2kg per unit. Let's compare the difference between buying 1 product and buying 10 products.
1. Product Information
| Purchase Quantity | Unit Price (USD) | Product Weight (kg) | Total Product Cost (USD) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 product | $1.00 | 0.2 kg | $1.00 |
| 10 products | $1.00 | 0.2 kg | $10.00 |
Calculation: Unit Price × Purchase Quantity = Total Product Cost
1 product: $1.00 × 1 = $1.00
10 products: $1.00 × 10 = $10.00
2. Domestic Shipping Cost (Factory to ChinaAssistant)
| Purchase Quantity | Shipping Rate (USD/kg) | Total Weight (kg) | Shipping Cost (USD) | Shipping Cost Per Product (USD) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 product | $2.00 | 1 kg (minimum charge) | $2.00 | $2.00 |
| 10 products | $2.00 | 2.0 kg | $4.00 | $0.40 |
Calculation: Shipping Rate × Total Weight = Shipping Cost
1 product: $2.00 × 1 kg = $2.00 → $2.00 per product
10 products: $2.00 × 2 kg = $4.00 → $4.00 ÷ 10 = $0.40 per product
3. Total Cost Comparison
| Purchase Quantity | Product Cost (USD) | Shipping Cost Per Product (USD) | Total Cost Per Product (USD) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 product | $1.00 | $2.00 | $3.00 |
| 10 products | $1.00 | $0.40 | $1.40 |
Calculation: Product Cost + Shipping Cost Per Product = Total Cost Per Product
1 product: $1.00 + $2.00 = $3.00
10 products: $1.00 + $0.40 = $1.40
Conclusion: Purchasing multiple products at once not only improves shipping speed but also reduces procurement costs.
