Please note that the price shown covers ALL country entry fees, including duties, shipping, customs, and other fees. INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING NOW AVAILABLE! We have officially begun shipping outside the USA! We understand these prices are steep, but as of now, this is our only way as a small business to legally ship our product through international borders. We do not set these fees and do not receive any of them, as a third party handles all of this for us, and customs and duty fees are set by the respective governments. International orders please note that the price shown covers ALL country entry fees, including duties, shipping, customs, and other fees. We’re constantly looking for better solutions, and do our best to help make shipping easier however we can: we offer free rewards for returning customers, and due to how dimensional weight works, the cost of shipping more packets is only a couple dollars more than a basic 9 pack! If you're a fan of our ramen, ordering more at once is the most cost effective shipping rate! It’s designed as a complete meal, so it’s larger and heftier than many people might first think! We unfortunately have no control over it, and being a small business, we have no negotiating power in asking them to lower it.Īlso, our ramen is just way, way bigger than the small packets you might see on the supermarket shelves. The reality of shipping is that shipping companies give us a cost, and that’s what shows up on our website we don’t make a single dollar off of it. And when it comes down to it, each of our meals is still less than the cost of a fast food meal! :) In the end, we just want to make the best ramen possible, have an excuse to eat ramen every day, and be proud of what we're doing and the employees who make it happen. ![]() Factor in the material costs for all the things like quinoa and protein for a healthier ramen and being made in the USA and that's how we set our costs. ![]() We're not in this to make the biggest profit (in fact, our profit margins are so low we can't afford to sell in supermarkets, which should give you an idea). Would we be able to make the product cheaper through outsourcing and sell more by decreasing the cost? Yeah, absolutely! But we're not about that. It's extremely important to us that our employees are treated fairly and that our ramen isn't made at the expense of the people who make it. We're putting our money where our mouth is and paying all of our employees a living wage no matter what position they work, giving healthy amounts of PTO and with no questions asked days off for mental health. The first step to combating this kind of exploitation is to set up business models that incorporate the negative externalities directly into the price, rather than perpetuate the unsustainable business models that currently exist. ![]() Unfortunately, fighting for the bottom dollar often means that the employees who make the food pay the cost: minimum wage, poor working hours and no consideration for mental health or overall/general employee well-being.īeing from a culinary background, we’re intimately familiar with the kind of exploitation that workers can be subject to, and the kind of poverty people can experience even while working twelve hour days. It's well known in the food world that the cheaper your product is, the better your sales will be. We're totally aware that our ramen is higher priced than normal, but for good reason.
