Consolidation helps you save costs by combining all your items into one shipment. Learn how our packing system works and how to take full advantage of it before your goods are shipped.

What Is Consolidation? #

Consolidation means we combine all the packages you’ve ordered — even from different suppliers — into one single shipment.
This service is completely free and it helps you:

• Save on shipping fees

• Reduce unnecessary packaging

• Ship efficiently and securely

How It Works: #

1. Your Packages Arrive at Our Warehouse
   Each time a seller delivers an item to our China warehouse, we log it into your account using your unique tracking code.

2. We Track & Verify Your Goods
   We scan, weigh (for air freight), and record each item. You’ll see:

   • The number of items delivered

   • Weight (air) or expected CBM (sea)

   • Photos (if you requested a visual proof)

3. You Request Consolidation or It Happens Automatically
   Once all expected items arrive, we can:

   • Combine them into one package

   • Remove extra seller boxes

   • Use protective wrapping to avoid damage

   • Apply special packaging (if requested)

4. We Weigh or Measure for Shipping

• Air freight: Based on final weight in kg

• Sea freight: CBM is calculated after consolidation

• Sea goods are not weighed (they are recorded as 1kg by default until measured)

Packing Options: #

• Standard Consolidation (Free)
  Combine items, remove excess packaging, and repack into one unit

• Special Packaging (On Request)
  For fragile, valuable, or branded goods — bubble wrap, double layer boxes, etc.

Quality Assurance (Optional): #

• Before packing, we can inspect for:

  • Broken or damaged items

  • Wrong color, size, or quantity

  • Missing parts
    This is available for OEM/ODM or large orders where quality checks are crucial.

Tracking After Packing #

Once packing is completed:

• Your customer dashboard updates the final weight or CBM

• The shipping fee is calculated

• You can choose to pay and ship immediately or wait for more items

Why It Matters: #

• Save up to 40% on shipping fees

• Avoid customs issues with excess boxes

• Reduce chances of loss or mix-up

• Get more accurate shipping rates before the final payment
