hello again,
some of you guys interfere me with cost and its profit margin. actually i don't have to discuss here about my item cost and how i set the price for my items, also no one else do these kind of discussion but i am doing it because i want to make sure my customer doesn't extra more money than the items worth it. again i am going explain here how i set the cost based on usa, please read carefully, think and comment, some of you guys left the comment not in practical way, thats just a poor guess. and someone said me i am trying to get smart here but i m not. i just trying to clarify that i m not taking too much money from my customers and its 1000% guaranty. if i am a smart business person, i am not supposed discuss my internal decisions and transactions in a public forum. so, i am honest here and please, you guys also try to be honest and be fare. again, i am going break down my cost here, please, check below for the details :
- dry meat per kg in nepal = Rs.1500
- per kg shipping charge from nepal to here = Rs.1750 (it could be fluctuate, this is the average cost)
- airport charge per cartoon = 700 (per cartoon 20kg)
- so, half kg price = Rs.1642.5
- from here to customer shipping = $5.5 (priority shipping, i can't ship on the standard or first class because it is more than 13ozs., so no other choice)
- ebay listing fees= $0.30
- ebay final fees= 10% of $28
- paypal fees= 3% plus automatic charge $0.30
- shipping labels/labels in packet
- packing materials (tape, sticker, boxes, envelopes --some of usps printed boxes and envelopes are free but not all the items ship on these, most of the times we have to package with own materials)
- labor cost, fuel, transportation (nepal and here)
so, please do calculate yourself. thank you.
note: if somebody found the better or cheaper way than mine, please, help me to reduce the price but currently i am not able to decrease the price of dry meat or sukuti. or if somebody have cheaper than mine, i am ready to buy. thank you all.
