CONSOLIDATION GUIDE

Consolidate parcels from China or ship them separately?

Combining several parcels into one shipment can reduce handling. The right approach depends on which items can be packed together and when they are ready for onward shipping.

Wait or send part of the order first

Keep a list of expected shipments and mark urgent items. Set a date to decide whether to wait for missing parcels or ship the goods already available.

Compare the packed dimensions

Compare both options using the final outer dimensions and weights. Ask which weight basis the quoted transport uses. Include protective packaging, special handling and domestic transport costs in the comparison.
