THE MATH IS MATHING !

How do Costume Buyers Club prices compare to US prices?

Lets take a standard preschool costume as an example-

Lets assume it has a sequined bodice, four layers of tulle in the skirt, statement fabric overlay, an accent flower and a matching flower clip for hair.

  • Popular US Dance Costume site costings

    10 children’s costumes via the most popular US dance costume site:

    $299.50 USD minus 20% discount of $59.90 plus US Sales tax- + 47.28= $286.88USD

    Cheapest Shipping Rate- $233.20

    Total- $520.08 USD
    As of May 7th 2025 that equates to $801.20 Australian dollars. (Or $80 per costume)

  • CBC uniform costings

    If we take a comparable costume from Costume Buyers Club

    heres what happens-

    At the starting rate (under 20 costumes ordered)

    10 costumes will cost $495 inclusive of international shipping to our warehouse and customs charges. ($49.50 per costume)

    Then lets add $40 for domestic shipping as a worst case cenario- (a 10kg box shipping from Newcastle NSW to Perth WA is used for this example)

    That’s $535 for 10 costumes!

BUT WAIT THERES MORE! (And a set of steak knives)

Here’s what happens when we work together to drive up the number of costumes ordered on the example above:
Units Price AUD per costume
Under 20 $49.50
21-100 $47.50
101-200 $44.20
200+ $42.40
Lets have a look at that side by side and assume we will be charging our dance families $90 per costume. We will be using a 10 costume order for this example. All prices in Australian dollars
US Costume Price -20% discount applied Highest CBC Price (Under 20) Lowest CBC Price (200+)
$442.07 $495.00 $424.00
International Shipping - $359.35 International Shipping- included International Shipping- included
Domestic Shipping- NA Domestic Shipping- $40 (max) Domestic Shipping- $40 (max)
Total $801.42 Total $535.00 Total $464.00
Profit $98.50 Profit $365 Profit $475
As you can see, the starting price is great but the lowest price is INSANE… and completely achievable. If only 10 studios ordered 21 costumes - the lowest price would be achieved.

This sounds great- But why the membership fee?
