How LoveGoBuy Package Consolidation Works
Step 1: Shop from Multiple Chinese Retailers
Use LoveGoBuy's shopping service to purchase from platforms like Taobao, Tmall, JD.com, and 1688. Have your items delivered to LoveGoBuy's Chinese warehouse address.
Step 2: Items Arrive at LoveGoBuy Warehouse
As your purchases arrive at the warehouse, they're stored in your personal locker. You'll receive photos of each item for verification.
Step 3: Submit Consolidation Request
Once all items have arrived, request package consolidation through your LoveGoBuy account. The staff will:
- Combine multiple packages into one shipment
- Remove unnecessary packaging to reduce weight
- Add protective materials as needed
- Create a custom shipping quote based on the consolidated weight
Step 4: Choose Shipping Method & Pay
Select from various international carriers (DHL, FedEx, EMS, etc.) based on your budget and delivery timeline. Pay the consolidated shipping fee and any additional service charges.
Money-Saving Consolidation Tips
Consolidate Strategically
Wait until all expected packages arrive at the warehouse before consolidating to avoid multiple consolidation fees. However, don't wait too long as storage fees may apply after the free period (typically 30-60 days).
Understand Weight Calculations
International shipping costs are based on either actual weight or volumetric weight (whichever is higher). LoveGoBuy's professional repacking can often reduce volumetric weight by removing bulky original packaging.
Consider Item Value and Customs
For high-value items, you might want to ship separately to avoid potential customs issues. Check your country's customs regulations for duty-free thresholds.
Remove Unnecessary Packaging
Request removal of original retail boxes and excessive packaging when possible to significantly reduce shipping weight and costs.
Consolidation Cost Example
| Scenario | Individual Shipping | Consolidated Shipping |
|---|---|---|
| 3 small packages (0.5kg each) | $18 × 3 = $54 | $25 + $3 (consolidation fee) = $28 |
| Total Savings | $26 (48% reduction) | |
