Quote "In late March, for example, the cost to haul cargo from China to the West Coast stood north of $5,000 per 40-foot container, according to Hong Kong market intelligence"
Bcs there is 40-50% more demand worldwide. Normally price was around $2000 per 40-Ft.
But 40-Ft. are the large truck containers, which can hold a lot of cargo. Roughly 240 large Prime1 boxes.
Lets assume $10k with all additional costs / 240 = $42 (by ship and truck, door-to-door)
Wow $700+ for shipping is a lot of profit margin lately
