WHAT DO YOU INCLUDE IN BEAUTY PIE PRODUCT COSTS?
Formulation, ingredients, packaging and development costs make up a large percentage of our BEAUTY PIE members' prices, and might include everything from an actual lipstick bullet, to the fluid of your foundation, the creams and cleansers, the tubes, jars, lids, and wands, moulds that produce our componentry (so powder compacts and lipstick cases and poured concealer pans and pencils) plus costs such as the assembly, filling, quality control, cartons, carton design, photography, duties and transportation (where applicable) and product-related development and design costs. You'll notice that this cost looks relatively low, and that's because as a Buyers' Club, when we buy in large quantities, each product's individual contribution to these costs is minimal.
WHAT IS INCLUDED IN BEAUTY PIE FULFILLMENT COSTS?
Fulfillment costs include (but are not limited to) shippers and packing materials (we use recycled and recyclable materials wherever possible), transportation, safe, climate-controlled storage and warehousing, insurance (at that warehousing), picking & packing, credit card fees and order fulfilment costs.
WHAT IS INCLUDED IN SAFETY, TESTING, LEGAL APPROVAL & OTHER SERVICES COSTS?
These costs may include (but are not limited to) costs such as prototyping, package testing, safety, compliance and testing, product and packaging compatibility and stability, panel safety and user testing and SPF testing (where applicable) and support services.
(AND OF COURSE EVERYBODY PAYS SALES TAX/VAT
