Combining multiple orders into one parcel is a proven strategy to significantly reduce international shipping costs. This guide walks you through LoongBuy's consolidation process, from warehouse requests to final dispatch.
Why Consolidate Orders with LoongBuy?
International shipping fees are often based on a base rate plus weight surcharges. Shipping items separately means paying that base rate multiple times. Consolidation packages your items together, so you pay that initial fee only once, leading to substantial savings, especially for lightweight items.

Step-by-Step Consolidation Process
Step 1: Use LoongBuy's "Warehouse" Feature
When checking out on LoongBuy, ensure all your items are shipped to the same LoongBuy warehouse address
Step 2: Request Package Consolidation
Once all your items have reached the LoongBuy warehouse, log into your account. Navigate to the "My Warehouse""Parcel Consolidation"
Step 3: Repackaging & Weight Calculation
After selection, you can often choose a repackaging option. LoongBuy staff will remove retail boxes and excess filler, repacking items snugly together in a single, right-sized box. This reduces volumetric weight, which carriers use to charge for bulky, light items. The system will then calculate the total combined weight
Step 4: Choose Your Delivery Method
Based on the final weight, dimensions, destination, and your needs (speed vs. cost), LoongBuy will display available shipping methods (e.g., EMS, ePacket, DHL, SF Express).
| Method | Best For | Consideration |
|---|---|---|
| Economy Air Mail | Non-urgent, low-cost items. | Slowest, often no tracking. |
| Standard Courier (ePacket, EMS) | Balancing cost and speed (7-20 days). | Good tracking, reliable for most countries. |
| Premium Courier (DHL, FedEx) | Urgent, valuable, or heavy parcels. | Fastest (3-7 days) but most expensive. |
