Most distributors calculate product cost from the factory quote and stop there. The factory price is only the first layer of a longer stack. The number that actually matters is the landed cost per unit at your own warehouse door, and container loading efficiency is the single largest variable you can still control after the price negotiation closes. A 40HQ that fits 14,400 units instead of 12,000 units lowers ocean freight, terminal handling and amortized documentation cost by roughly 16% per machine. On an electric grinder that sells for 25 to 40 USD at destination, that spread is frequently larger than the margin you spent three emails arguing over. For importers of electric coffee grinders, spice grinders, milk frothers and juice cups, the packing engineer at the factory is effectively a second buyer, and the carton he designs sets your margin for the whole season.
