Why does shipping cost way more for sending a package compared to when ordering something?

769 views

So if I am ordering something across the ocean, compared to me sending something to a friend across the ocean, I pay more than 5 times more for sending a package than just ordering something from the same place, and it’s always like that. Do businesses get some special deal or something?

You are sending one package. Amazon is sending hundreds of truckloads of packages.

Any shipping company can afford to lose you as a customer. No shipping company can afford to lose Amazon as a customer.
