The full cost of one unit in your warehouse
The factory price is the smaller part of what goods really cost. We count all of it — freight, inspection, packaging, fees and losses on conversion — so the buying decision rests on the final figure rather than a line in a price list.
- Cost per unit
- Scenarios compared
- Payment schedule
- No hidden fees
Who it suits
- You need to know your margin before ordering the batch.
- You know the factory price but not the final one.
- You are weighing two order sizes and cannot tell which pays better.
- The last batch cost more than planned and it is not clear why.
What you get
The full landed cost per unit, not the factory price.
A breakdown: what the goods, the freight, the inspection and the handling each cost.

Scenarios compared across order size and route.
How the work goes

The gap between 1,000 and 3,000 units
- The task
- The client was working from the factory price and planned to take the minimum order.
- The outcome
- The full costing showed that at a small volume freight and inspection eat the margin. At 3,000 units the cost per unit fell by 22%.

Frequent questions
The maker’s price, freight to your warehouse, consolidation and repacking, inspection, handling, transfer fees and losses on currency conversion. Customs duties are costed separately — they depend on the category and the destination country.
Because without a chosen product category and destination country any such number would be invented. The calculator gives a preliminary total for goods, freight and handling; duties and certification are costed inside the project.
They appear as their own line in the costing rather than dissolving into the price of the goods. The whole point of this service is that you can see what the total is made of.
That is half the job. We usually bring several scenarios at once: the difference between batch sizes is often decisive and changes the buying plan.
