In my experience, the wholesale buyers are very reluctant to pay packing
percentages on top of shipping charges.

As a retailer and buyer, when they consider pricing something, they need to
determine quickly if they can sell it at a certain price, with all the add-ons
it can boggle their mind. If you are going to add packing charges on, why not
include it in the price? You cannot get anything to anywhere without packing
it.
