Understanding Package Consolidation: Shop More, Pay Less

Shipping multiple items internationally from different online stores can quickly become expensive due to individual "first pound" shipping rates. Package Consolidation (also known as bundling) is our premier service designed to slash those costs by up to 80%.

How Does It Work?

Instead of shipping five different boxes from five different stores, we hold your items at our warehouse until they’ve all arrived. Our expert packing team then:

  1. Unpacks your items from their original, often oversized, retail boxes.
  2. Inspects the items to ensure they are ready for travel.
  3. Repacks everything into a single, secure, and efficiently sized box.

The Math Behind the Savings

International shipping rates are weighted; the first pound is always the most expensive. As the weight of a single box increases, the cost per pound decreases. By consolidating, you eliminate multiple "first pound" charges and pay one significantly lower rate.
