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

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?

Business get discounts because they ship large volumes and also they will include a portion in the purchase price because even though you may not see a shipping charge there is no such service as *free shipping*.
