delivery cost / acquisition cost
Explanation:
As so often, context is vital.
Prix d'achat is purchase price.
Coût d'achat depends on context and can be cost of delivering goods to market or the cost of acquiring customers.
"Un détour de plus de 30 kilomètres leur est imposé qui
renchérit le coût d'approche des marchandises."

"Le coût d'approche des petites entreprises est très élevé."
http://www.ulrich-editions.com/recherche1.htm

It can even relate to telecommunications charges:
" "coûts d'approche" en cas de reroutage. Ce "coût d'approche" peut être gratuit (appel vers Numéro Vert ® ou 3BPQ) ou payant (appel vers un numéro "local")"

(although this is unlikely in your example).

coût d'approche
cost approach


Explanation:
cost approach to pricing of items [cost approach takes into account all the retailer's costs not just the cost he incurred by purchasing the good him/herself.

prix d'achat= purchase price of goods [the price the retailer pays for the goods]

Look this is an entire field called PRICING. If you want to learn about it, I recommend this article:

I think I may have inverted my reading...cout d\'approche...must be first price or initial pricing...

what I said above refers to approche cout.....sorry
