Shipment

Shipment is the fourth most expensive building in Cookie Clicker Classic. It represents a fleet of interstellar deliveries that “brings in fresh cookies from the cookie planet,” and in the Classic version it increases production by 100 cookies every 5 seconds, or 20 cookies per second. Its base cost is 7,000 cookies, and each additional purchase raises the price by 10%.

Buying the first Shipment also improves Grandma output by +3 cookies per 5 seconds. This purchase has a visual side effect as well: some grandmas are transformed into alien grandmas with purple skin, three legs, and grey rolling pins. The building’s appearance and store icon are shown separately in the Classic interface, and its background art emphasizes its spacefaring theme.

Shipment is notable mostly for being a strong early-midgame income boost in Classic and for its lore implications. The description suggests that cookies are transported from another world, which implies a setting where the cookie planet and even the local planet itself are made of cookies. That idea is reinforced elsewhere in the game’s flavor text.

• Base production: 100 cookies / 5 seconds
• Equivalent production: 20 cookies / second
• Base price: 7,000 cookies
• Price scaling: +10% per purchase
• Extra effect on first buy: Grandma output +3 cookies / 5 seconds
• Visual effect on first buy: some grandmas become alien grandmas

Because Shipment is tied to Cookie Clicker Classic, it should be understood in that context rather than as a standard building in later versions. In Classic, it serves as both a major production upgrade and one of the game’s more memorable thematic elements, combining a direct CpS increase with a permanent change to grandma production.
