SuperBuy Shipping Guide: How to Consolidate Your Orders and Save Money
Shopping from multiple Chinese sellers but dreading high international shipping fees? SuperBuy's package consolidation service is your solution. Combining multiple purchases into one shipment can dramatically reduce your overall shipping costs while simplifying tracking and delivery.
What is Package Consolidation?
Package consolidation is SuperBuy's warehouse service that allows you to merge items from different sellers into a single international shipment. Instead of paying separate shipping fees for each small package, you combine them and ship everything together.
Key Benefits of Consolidation:
- Reduced shipping costs
- Consolidated tracking
- Better protection
- Customs optimization
- Consolidated tracking
How to Consolidate Packages on SuperBuy
Step 1: Let Items Arrive at SuperBuy Warehouse
First, complete your purchases from various sellers. Each item will be shipped to your dedicated SuperBuy warehouse address in China. Wait until all items you want to consolidate show "Arrived at Warehouse" status in your account.
Step 2: Access the Consolidation Service
Navigate to "My Warehouse" in your SuperBuy account. Check the boxes next to all items you wish to combine. Click the "Consolidate Packages" or "Apply for Consolidation" button.
Step 3: Review and Customize
The system will show you consolidation options:
- Package Inspection:
- Remove Packaging:
- Simple Repackaging:
- Value-Added Services:
- Remove Packaging:
Step 4: Submit and Pay
After selecting your preferences, SuperBuy will calculate the domestic consolidation fee (typically very small) and estimated international shipping cost. Review everything and submit your consolidation request.
Step 5: Wait for Processing
SuperBuy warehouse staff will physically gather your items, package them according to your instructions, and weigh the final consolidated package. This usually takes 1-2 business days.
Step 6: Pay International Shipping
Once consolidated, you'll see the actual international shipping cost. Choose your preferred carrier (EMS, DHL, FedEx, etc.) based on price and delivery time, then pay the shipping fee to dispatch your package internationally.
Pro Tips for Smart Consolidation
Weight Optimization
Shipping costs are calculated by weight. Consider removing unnecessary packaging to reduce weight, but keep protective packaging for fragile items.
Carrier Selection
Compare carrier prices carefully. EMS is often cost-effective for heavier packages, while DHL/FedEx might be better for time-sensitive lighter items.
Consolidation Limits
Check weight and dimension limits for your destination country. Oversized packages may incur additional fees.
Insurance Consideration
For high-value consolidated packages, consider purchasing shipping insurance for peace of mind.
Timing Matters
SuperBuy offers free warehouse storage for a limited time (usually 60-180 days). Consolidate before storage fees apply.
