- retrieving the order from the web site and locating the product costs vary as a function of order size (the number of books per order) because more time is required to fill larger orders.
- Specialty handling - unique packaging is required for oversized (large) products.
- Standard packaging - costs do not appear to vary by the number of books in the order, but are constant across all orders.
