Why Combine Deliveries?

Combining the delivery of multiple items from your warehouse not only ensures professional packaging but also helps save on international shipping costs compared to sending separate shipments.

Example: Selecting GD-EMS for Shipment to the United States

Assume the first 500g costs 30 USD, and each additional 500g costs 10 USD, with a handling fee of 1 USD per parcel.

Let’s say you have three items weighing 700g, 1100g, and 1600g, respectively.

1. Separate Shipping:
   If you ship the items individually, the total cost will be 153 USD. Calculation:
   • (30 USD + 10 USD + 1 USD) + (30 USD + 10 USD * 2 + 1 USD) + (30 USD + 10 USD * 3 + 1 USD) = 153 USD
2. Combined Shipping:
   If you combine the items into one shipment, the total shipping cost will be 91 USD. Calculation:
   • Combined weight: 700g + 1100g + 1600g = 3400g
   • Shipping fee: 30 USD + 10 USD * 6 + 1 USD = 91 USD

By combining shipments, you save the cost of 2 additional initial weights and 2 handling fees, resulting in a direct saving of 62 USD in shipping costs.

• 153 USD – 91 USD = 62 USD

Tips:

The weight and quantity of a parcel are crucial factors that various countries use to determine if it is a personal or commercial shipment. Parcels over 10KG are more likely to be classified as commercial, and sending a large quantity of the same item is another significant reason for being regarded as commercial. Therefore, we suggest considering the weight and number of items when choosing to combine multiple items for shipping.
