Example Scenarios
Here’s how Stitchi’s pricing works in practice:
🎁 Scenario 1 – 100 Swag Boxes (Employee Onboarding)
You produce and store 100 pre-kitted boxes, then ship them on demand as new hires start.
Line Item | Calculation | Cost |
Storage (3 months) | 100 packs × $5/yr = | $500 |
Pick & Pack | 100 shipments × $5 = | $500 |
Postage (estimate) | 100 shipments × $12 = | $1,200 |
Total (3 months) |
| ≈ $2,200 |
Cost per box (ex. postage) |
| $10.00 |
👕 Scenario 2 – 500 Apparel Orders (Hoodies & Tees)
You ship 500 one-item orders through your online store.
Line Item | Calculation | Cost |
Storage (3 months) | 500 items × $1/yr = | $500 |
Pick & Pack | 500 × ($2 + $0.50) = | $1,250 |
Postage (estimate) | 500 shipments × $8 = | $4,000 |
Total (3 months) |
| ≈ $5,750 |
