Warehouse & Consolidation Guide

Learn how warehouse storage, consolidation, and package management work for international orders.

Understanding the Warehouse

The warehouse is the central hub where your purchased items are stored before international shipping. When you order products through a shopping agent, they are first delivered to the warehouse, inspected for quality, and then stored until you are ready to ship.

Understanding warehouse services helps you save money through consolidation, avoid storage fees by shipping promptly, and ensure your items arrive in the best possible condition.

Warehouse Services

Free Storage

Most warehouses offer 30-90 days of free storage for your items before shipping.

Consolidation

Combine multiple orders into one package to reduce international shipping costs.

Photo Service

Request detailed photos of your items before consolidation and shipping.

Inspection

Quality control checks verify item condition, sizing, and accuracy on arrival.

Returns

Return items to sellers within the warehouse if they do not meet expectations.

Repacking

Repack items into smaller boxes or remove packaging to reduce shipping weight.

Package Consolidation

Consolidation is the process of combining multiple items into a single shipping package. This is one of the most effective ways to reduce your international shipping costs per item.

Cost Savings

Shipping one consolidated package costs significantly less than shipping individual items separately.

Reduced Risk

Fewer packages mean fewer customs inspections and a lower chance of lost items.

Custom Packaging

Request specific packing methods, remove boxes, or add protective materials.
