Frequently Asked Questions<\/h2>\n
\nWhat\u2019s the difference between consolidation and international express shipping?<\/summary>\n

Consolidation combines multiple packages at a warehouse into one large box for shipping, which is much cheaper than sending each package individually via international express. It\u2019s ideal for overseas Chinese who frequently shop on Chinese e-commerce platforms.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n

\nHow long can packages be stored in the warehouse?<\/summary>\n

Free storage typically lasts 90 days. After that, a small storage fee may apply. We recommend submitting a consolidation request as soon as all packages arrive.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n

\nWhat items cannot be shipped via consolidation?<\/summary>\n

Battery items, flammable and explosive goods, liquids (shippable via some channels), live plants and animals, counterfeit goods, etc., are prohibited. Please check the detailed listProhibited Items List<\/a>\u3002<\/p>\n<\/details>\n

Shipping fees are generally calculated based on actual weight or volumetric weight (whichever is greater). Specific prices vary by destination country, shipping method, and package weight. You can check real-time quotes online.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n
