Sorry to butt in but I noticed you are missing a fundamental point to all of this.

Re-sellers do get bulk shipping deals but to their own storage factories and THEN they must ship them again when people order them and they still find a way to offer decent shipping cost AND make a profit even with the extra cost of the bulk shipping to their warehouses.

Basically buying direct from PRIME 1 cuts out the middle man and the additional bulk order shipping costs as well as the re-seller profit margin yet they still cannot offer a similar price from PRIME 1 (the original makers of the statue).

Does that make more sense? I could do a long form equation that shows it better if you still do not know what we mean but the gist is ordering from PRIME 1 cuts out multiple parts of the cost yet still costs more somehow.
