CSSBuy Shipping: How to Manage Parcel Consolidation Like a Pro
Combine multiple purchases into a single, cost-effective shipment. Master repackaging to slash volumetric weight and total freight costs.
International shopping often means buying from multiple sellers, leading to several packages arriving at your agent's warehouse. Parcel consolidation is the essential service that combines these items into one intelligent shipment. This guide will walk you through CSSBuy's process to optimize your parcel, save money, and ship like a seasoned expert.
Step-by-Step: The Pro Consolidation Process
Step 1: Let Items Arrive in Your Warehouse
Once you've made purchases, allow all items to arrive at your CSSBuy warehouse. You can track each item's status under "My Warehouse". Ensure everything is "In Storage"
Step 2: Initiate Parcel Creation & Select for Consolidation
Navigate to "My Warehouse""Create Parcel". Here, you will see all your stored items. Carefully select the checkboxes next to every item you wish to combine into one international shipment.
Step 3: The Key Move – Request Professional Repackaging
This is the core of pro consolidation. After selecting items, look for the "Additional Services""Remarks"
This direct request guides the packing team to actively reduce the parcel's volumetric weight (LxWxH/divisor), which is often the main cost driver.
Step 4: Review Photos & Adjust (If Needed)
After submitting your parcel and repackaging request, CSSBuy's team will process it. They often provide pre-shipment photos. Review these photos carefully!
If the packing isn't as optimized as you'd like, you can contact customer service before payment
Step 5: Choose Your Shipping Line & Pay
Based on the final weight and dimensions (now optimized!), CSSBuy's system will quote you prices for various shipping lines (like DHL, EMS, SAL, etc.).

Advanced Pro Tips
Know What Can Be Repackaged
Clothing (remove hangers, fold), most shoes (remove boxes), and general goods are ideal. For fragile, high-value, or branded presentation items, you may want to keep original packaging.
Consider Rehearsal Packaging
For large hauls, use the paid "Rehearsal Packaging"
Balance Protection vs. Size
While minimizing size is key, don't sacrifice all protection. Simple bubble wrap or corner protection for electronics is wise. Your instructions should strike this balance.
