Landed cost vs. wholesale cost
Wholesale cost is one line on an invoice. Landed cost is that line plus everything else you had to spend to have the item sitting in your stockroom, tagged and sellable. The gap between them is the part most boutique owners never price for — and it's the reason a "good" wholesale price can still produce a thin margin.
Landed cost vs. retail price
Landed cost tells you what the item truly cost. Pricing decides what you need to charge. Once you have a per-unit landed cost, take it into the Boutique Profit Margin Calculator and read how to price boutique clothing for the full pricing method.
Plan for inbound costs before you commit the budget
Freight and fees come out of the same pile of cash as the merchandise, so decide on them before the order — not after. The First Wholesale Order Budget Allocator sets that buffer aside for you before splitting the rest across vendors.
