They probably count on it all averaging out at the end of the year.
So I am sure my deal getting 40 pounds delivered for $5.95 is an exception. That is why the Pets.com business model in 2000 was destined for failure. You can't afford shipping 50 pound bags of dog food for free, and have a sustaining business model.

I don't know how totally tomatoes ships....many companies with large volumes have special agreements and pricing with FedEx or UPS, don't let them fool you.
