Why does the cost per unit increases as you try to do a bulk order? i.e. 1 unit cost $4.85, 2 units cost almost $15.00

The cost changes because you are buying from different sellers. One store is selling the 1-unit item, another store is selling the 2-unit and 3-unit items, and a different store is selling the 6-unit item. As you click through the unit sizes, look to see what is listed after "Sold by".

It appears that the price changes. It should be possible to get the remanufactured unit for about 60% of the list price of the new unit.

When a business or person orders in bulk they get a discount. Normally this item would cost say $50, if you order more than one it is reduced to $20 for example. Bulk could mean they ordered 10 to 100 of the same item. They can then pass the saving on to whoever they sell to, like you or I and still make a profit. Hope that helps answer your question.

I take it to mean 2 light units but the price is more than twice as much as the one unit. I see that it changes supplier when you go to 2 unit so probably best to order a quantity of 2 of the single unit packages. I hope that this helps.

I don't know why amazon has put this up. It really has nothing to do with the product. 1 box does make more than 1 batch of jam or jelly and maybe they are showing the cost per ounce because of that. Even though I can't figure out how they came up with those figures.

I was wondering why myself as well. I've seen them as low as $16. Yeah the price fluxuation is rediculous. I'm sure they have their reasons, but it is irritating.

Hi, Price depends up on the Manufacturer/Distributor, because if they increased or reduced the price then we should change the price as per the manufacturer. Thanks.

That is a byproduct of how Amazon's system calculates shipping. A seller can either set their shipping up using a base rate plus an additional amount per pound (which doesn't work for small items - because then you get charged a 1lb minimum for a 1oz item), or the seller can override the shipping and put in a specific amount for that item - but them Amazon charges that shipping amount for each item. As you can see it makes it a difficult thing to fit everyone. If you run into that on one of our listings, E-ail us after you place the order and we can manually refund back some of the shipping charges after we process the order.

It has to do with who the actual "seller" is. If you select a quantity of "1", in this case, it is "sold and fulfilled" by Amazon. If you select a quantity of "2" it is "sold" by another company while still being "fulfilled" by Amazon. Yes, both quantities are, as of this writing, "fulfilled" by Amazon but that just tells you that Amazon stores, packages, and ships both items(1 and 2 packs) even though there are, in reality, two different "sellers". If you click back and forth on the quantity selector you'll see the "sold by" name change. Look just under the price after you switch. The seller of the 2 pack sets the price whereas the seller of the 1 pack(Amazon) sets its own price. I'm sure Amazon buys the 1 pack in very large quantities and, therefore, can get a bigger discount, per piece, than the other "seller" can get, per piece, for the 2-pack.

On amazon these sellers have alot of fees they have to cover first. There is an amazon fee and and also shipping. By charging 15 these sellers are only making a profit of a dollar... after labor. Handling. Inventory. And overhead costs. These sellers in my opinion are here to provide items for those who do not have access to these items in their area.. Hopefully that helps... Sellers aren't making that much mulla

Our prices fluctuate rapidly (up and down) in reaction to market conditions and our price is currently $175.99. We have no knowledge of ever offering a price of $156.79 although we did previously offer a lower price than the current price. Do you have an order number? Perhaps your order was in your cart for several days and prices increased in the interim or you are getting us confused with another seller. Please advise, thank you.

Hello, Increases in price are due to an increase from the manufacturer. Do you have the order number from the last time you ordered this product from us, so I can see what the cost was then.Thanks,Mark at Peters Select

Hi, Not sure who you are asking this is a random message board but I can say this particular item had a price increase from the manufacturer so that is probably why we have no control over that but I know it did not double. Thanks

Yes that's correct, but you might be able to get better price as an "add-on" deal to a big order. Something like $3 per 2 pack. Just search add-on .

Because Amazon doesn't do the math (not that they have to). They are provided a product from a seller for a certain price, and adjust their mark-ups accordingly I am sure. If the seller makes a base price with a package deal that is more expensive than buying the same amount individually, then that is their prerogative. Dumb, but at the same time they are likely to catch many un-savvy buyers in this product package making their packaging deal worth it to them. While it is unfortunate, it is the responsibility of the buyer to look at the different products and choose the best option for themselves. Hope this helps!

It probably doesn't have anything to do with the product itself. I believe Amazon prices tend to fluctuate day to day, depending on inventory levels. My guess is there are just more of the 1-packs in stock right now, so the prices are set to incentivize customers to purchase that pack size instead of the 2-pack.

Sometimes new shipments may have price increases . I work in retail and see this often. Again, it can be some thing entire my different.It is comfortable
