A shipping package is the single shipment going to 1 customer, it could be just 1 bag of coffee, or up to 48 bags of coffee in a single order. This fee covers the packaging material (box, tape, packing slip), and the labor for shipping the package.

Shipping Rates
We do not include shipping in our prices. When you get an order in, you will pay for shipping either through your website if you have that option, or through our accounts.
We have negotiated rates with UPS and FedEx, and some of the best rates with USPS.
To help you figure out rates, we can send a shipping report of what the costs have been over the last 30 days.

PROs

Orders tend to cluster around the discounts, it's not uncommon to never have an order at the lowest level.

The math is more involved, as you have to account for some amount of shipping expense that the shipping rates don't cover.
