Quite a bit larger. $50.00 per package.

But someone else pointed out that if you take the ferry both ways to
VVR, it will cost $38 to pick up your resupply there. ($9 x 2 for the
ferry + $15 for the package.) On top of that, food prices at VVR are
quite high, due to the trouble it takes to get the food to the resort.
It isn't unusual to spend $100 or more at VVR for a one-night stay.

This makes MTR look like a viable option in spite of the cost.
