The company went from just a few protypes they made to over $15 million in sales. The companys first year results are given below. The retail price of a Comfy is $40, but the wholesale price (what they sell to stores for) is $30. They have a negotiated contract with a manufacturer in Bangladesh for the following orders: Production Costs Monthly Production Bill with under 20,000 order $13/Comfy Monthly Production Bill with under 20,001-99,999 order $12/Comfy Monthly Production Bill with 100,000+ order $11/Comfy Shipping costs are $4 per Comfy (either to the customer directly or to the store/QVC).
