Masha got into Rainbow Loom – making bracelets from colorful elastic bands. She recently got sick, and with the help of YouTube, she learned a ton of ways to weave these rubber bands. Now my house is full of these rubber bands, but they are running out. To buy more, you can purchase a set of 600 pieces in Russia for 1600 rubles, or you can order from China – attention – for 2 dollars. For six dollars, you can buy a set of 4200 rubber bands weighing one and a half kilograms. Including shipping, it comes to 38 dollars, i.e., 2500 rubles per box. For five boxes, the shipping cost is already 130 dollars. It turns out that in the retail cost of Chinese rubber bands, 90-95% is “eaten up” by transport. If someone learned how to make them in Russia, they would become a millionaire.
