Author Topic: How do these chinese people make a profit off this?  (Read 2337 times)



This is $3.29 and it ships from china to america.

Also shipping is free.

International shipping is gonna be probably expensive and newegg is going to take a cut off this and chinese slave labor may be cheap but they are still paying someone to package this.

Not to mention it probably costs something to make this.

How are they making a profit? If anything they are probably in the red.

black market shipping and handling

alternatively production en mass and high demand internationally

what

at the manufacturing level they may just have a person checking/watching a machine cutting these shapes out at thousands per hour. that guy is probably paid < $5 an hour. even manual laborers dont get paid that much there.

at the shipping level, the company is probably taking advantage of cheaper shipping by combining it with bigger products that it makes, or if someone else has some space to sell in their own shipping containers. these products would go around the world and so by scale they can sell as much as they produce.

individual products only net very little profit for the company, but due to them selling hundreds of thousands constantly they can actually turn a decent profit. or its a side thing to help optimize their shipping costs for other more profitable products: imagine a truck filled with computer desks the company could be manufacturing, with all that empty space under/between desks - this can fill that space.

what
high production with all the machines (it's not a high effort product lmao) and people want this all over the world

I sure do like it when the mousepad I was going to buy ends up being made with chinese slave labor

mousepads are horrible anyways. trackballs are the supreme option

the chinese tears on the mousepad really make it worth it for me

if you buy a male mouse it won't need pads

one plus side of buying cheap chinese products is that you always get little hidden notes written by starving children about the torment they endure working in the factory. its like a tiny story that comes with each delivery.

this is funnier because it's technically true

shut the f**ck up

I thought that was a hat for a second

if you put a stuff ton of small things in a big crate it becomes considerably cheaper to ship per item
