Pricing & Port Imports FAQ
How does the Port Import Price Index work in Big Ambitions?
1.0 represents the neutral baseline cost of importing sea freight containers at the Port of New York. When the index drops into deep-discount territory, order bulk shipments to your warehouse to capture meaningful cost savings.
What should I do when the Import Index is very high?
Very high readings make port imports noticeably more expensive. Freeze new international purchasing and supply your retail shops from existing warehouse stockpiles until prices drop.
What is the difference between Cheap and Expensive Flowers?
Cheap flowers sell in high volume with low storage space per crate. Expensive flowers (Roses) have a noticeably higher profit per sale but take up significantly more storage room in your backroom.
