3.5 cents to PRODUCE.

Not to ship halfway around the world, warehouse, pick, package and ship.

Each sachet of P&G™ is provided to global emergency relief organizations or non-governmental organizations at a cost of 3.5 US cents, not including shipping from Pakistan by ocean container. Transport, distribution, education, and community motivation can add significantly to program costs. Sachets are generally sold at product cost recovery for 10 US cents each, for a cost of 1 US cent per liter treated.

10 cents for 10 liters, or a penny a liter. still a lot more than 3.5 cents, but not crazy.

Yes. 10 cents is not two dollars, which some Amazon sellers are charging.

Especially when people pay $2 for a half liter of Poland Spring!

So you're arguing that it costs two bucks to ship it?

Yeah, no.

As the other poster noted, the article explicitly says that the retail price, including shipping, is about 10 cents.

The ‘zon????

amazon! probably

But why on earth call it that? It's the same number of syllables, more letters, additional punctuation and also not in common use. So odd.

> powdered ferric sulfate (a flocculant) and calcium hypochlorite

Are you saying those two components are too expensive on Amazon?..

You could certainly brew your own.

I was referring to the fact that Amazon sellers are charging 50 cents to two dollars (!) for a packet that is sold by the manufacturer for 3.5 cents.

Puts it in line with all the other overpriced outdoors gear.
