The ACBuy Parcel Consolidation Process
Step 1: Shop Normally
Place orders with multiple sellers as you normally would. All your packages are sent to our secure consolidation center.
Step 2: Automatic Notification
When your items arrive at our warehouse, we'll notify you and show you which packages are ready for consolidation.
Step 3: Choose Consolidation
Select which items you'd like to combine into a single shipment. You can choose to consolidate all your items or select specific packages.
Step 4: Smart Repackaging
Our warehouse team professionally repackages your items, eliminating unnecessary outer boxes and combining items efficiently to minimize final dimensions and weight.
Understanding Final Weight Calculation
The savings from consolidation come from how shipping carriers calculate costs:
| Scenario | Package Count | Total Weight | Cost Efficiency |
|---|---|---|---|
| Separate Shipments | 3 packages | 1.2kg + 0.8kg + 1.5kg | Paying 3 separate base fees + individual weight rates |
| Consolidated Shipment | 1 package | 3.5kg total | One base fee + lower per-kg rate for heavier packages |
Note:
