Question 3

What is the consolidation service?

Accepted Answer

Consolidation, repack and storage are services we offer at your U.S. Address. Use these services (if applicable) to save on international shipping. Manage these services (if applicable) in My Packages

Have two or more packages you want to ship internationally?

Consolidation lets you ship multiple packages from your U.S. address together as one international shipment. This helps you save on shipping costs by avoiding duplicate base charges.

📦 Instead of shipping each box separately (and paying multiple base rates), we combine your packages into one shipment.

Select to ship them all at the same time to save on shipping costs (this will count as one shipment). Shipping them separately will cost much more than combining them together into one shipment.

Why does consolidation save money?

The base charge (for the first 0.5kg) is always higher than the per-0.5kg rate that follows.

So if you ship three packages separately, you pay the base charge three times.

But if you consolidate them into one shipment, you only pay the base charge once.

Consolidation details:

Consolidate up to 3 packages per shipment for free

Additional packages cost $1 each

Prime members get unlimited free consolidation

You can consolidate up to 15 packages in a single shipment

When is consolidation not a savings option?

Some countries charge taxes based on the total value of a shipment.
If combining packages pushes your total over a tax-free threshold, it may cost more in duties.

Always check your country’s import tax rules before consolidating.
