The company is responsible for paying for shipping its product to a distributor located in Atlanta, Georgia. Due to the high cost of shipping, the company is considering shipping its products unassembled, but will include detailed assembly instructions in each package. By shipping unassembled products, Arts N Crafts will be able to shrink the size of its cartons and thereby increase the number of products per pallet from 16 (4 rows of 4) to 25 (5 rows of 5).
