If you frequently shop from multiple Chinese online stores using CNFANS, you might end up with several separate parcels heading to the same destination. Combining these packages into one single shipment is a powerful strategy to significantly reduce your overall shipping costs. This guide explains how CNFANS handles consolidation and how you can estimate your total parcel weight before checkout.
What is Package Consolidation?
Consolidation, or package merging, is the process where the CNFANS warehouse collects all the individual items or parcels you have received from different sellers and repacks them into a single, streamlined box for international shipping. Instead of paying for the separate shipping of multiple small boxes, you pay for one larger shipment, which is almost always more economical.
