LoveGoBuy: How to Consolidate Parcels for Lower Shipping Fees
Shopping internationally through LoveGoBuy opens up a world of products, but shipping costs can quickly add up when ordering multiple items. The smart solution? Package consolidation — combining smaller packages into one streamlined shipment to dramatically reduce your international delivery expenses.
What Is Package Consolidation?
Package consolidation is LoveGoBuy's service that combines multiple purchases from different Chinese sellers into one single, optimized package before international shipping. Instead of paying separate shipping fees for each individual item, you merge them into one consolidated parcel that weighs less collectively and costs significantly less to ship.
Key Benefits of Package Consolidation
- Reduced Shipping Costs:
- Package Protection:
- Simplified Tracking:
- Customs Advantage:
- Reduced Handling Fees:
- Package Protection:
Step-by-Step Consolidation Process
Step 1: Shop Multiple Sellers
Purchase items from various Chinese online stores using your LoveGoBuy address. All packages will be delivered to LoveGoBuy's domestic warehouse.
Step 2: Wait for Arrival
Allow 2-5 days for all your packages to arrive at the LoveGoBuy warehouse. You'll receive notifications as each parcel is checked in.
Step 3: Request Consolidation
Once all items arrive, log into your LoveGoBuy account and select the "Package Consolidation" option. Choose which packages you want to combine.
Step 4: Review & Optimize
LoveGoBuy will:
- Remove excess packaging materials
- Consolidate items into optimal box sizes
- Provide new weight and dimension measurements
- Calculate your exact shipping cost savings
Step 5: Choose Shipping Method
Select your preferred international carrier based on the new consolidated weight and your delivery timeline needs.
Pro Tips for Maximum Savings
Strategic Shopping Windows
Plan your purchases to arrive at the warehouse within a 5-7 day window to avoid storage fees while maximizing consolidation opportunities.
Weight Optimization
Combine lightweight items with slightly heavier ones to balance weight distribution and avoid jumping into higher weight brackets unnecessarily.
Remove Unnecessary Packaging
Request removal of retail boxes and excessive wrapping to reduce dimensional weight charges, especially for clothing and accessories.
Consolidation Timing
For best results, consolidate 3-8 packages together. Too few won't yield significant savings, while too many might create dimensional weight issues.
Real Cost Comparison Example
| Shipping Method | 3 Separate Packages | 1 Consolidated Package | Savings |
|---|---|---|---|
| EMS International | $78.50 | $45.20 | $33.30 (42%) |
| DHL Express | $94.75 | $62.40 | $32.35 (34%) |
Important Considerations
- Consolidation service fee: $2-5 per consolidated package
- Maximum consolidation: 10 packages or 30kg total weight
- Certain restricted items cannot be consolidated
- Storage fees apply after 60 days of free storage
- All items in consolidation must be going to the same final destination
