    139184    14.94    51.75    27.88        Based on our analysis, it seems that the
cost per item for parcel shipping is highly variable and depends on the quantity of each item shipped in a given shipment. Specifically, the minimum cost per item of 1.93 was observed for item 138179, while the maximum cost per item of 244.76 was observed for item 239192. On average, the cost per item was estimated to be 72.74.
This variability in cost could be due to differences in shipping carriers, packaging materials, and handling fees. Additionally, since the shipping costs were determined at the shipment level an estimation has to be made to determine the cost of each item for those shipments containing multiple items. This inherent uncertainty in our analysis should be taken into account when making predictions about future shipping costs.
In order to accurately determine the cost saving from opening a warehouse in Agana, it will be necessary to consider other factors such as the cost of warehousing and the cost of bulk shipping. With all relevant costs taken into account, a more precise analysis can be conducted to accurately evaluate the potential cost savings.
