Contact the Grow More factory. They will give you an exact quote. Note that they only manufacture in pallet quantities.

Actually a U.S. ton is 2000 lbs, so that's 80 bags per pallet.

The factory will not ship the product to you for free, so be sure to figure in the transportation cost.

Other realities you might want to figure into your cost analysis are the cost of packaging, running a web site etc.

Now all that said, I could really care less if I sell any of it to Bananas.org members. For me, this thread has been about sharing part of my life.

Many of my customers buy by the pallet. On annual average, there are 10k to 30k visitors to my site per day and I have a 0.5% conversion rate.

Dana, I appreciate your desire to protect people from scams. This time though, I think you are barking up the wrong tree.

Happy Holidays!
