BaseTao Shipping: Mastering Parcel Consolidation to Reduce Costs

2025-12-09

Combine smaller packages to lower freight charges while ensuring reliable delivery with BaseTao's professional packing service.

Understanding the Cost Challenge

Shopping across multiple Taobao and 1688 sellers often results in receiving several small, separate packages. While convenient for sellers, this fragmentation leads to significantly higher international shipping fees

How BaseTao Consolidation Works

1

Warehouse Receiving

All your packages arrive at your personal BaseTao warehouse address. Our system tracks each item.

2

Storage & Awaiting Consolidation

Items are stored securely for up to 90 days free, allowing you to shop from multiple sellers over time.

3

Professional Packing

Our team expertly packs all items into one secure, right-sized box, removing excess seller packaging to save weight and volume.

4

Single International Shipment

You receive one tracking number for the consolidated parcel, shipped via your chosen reliable carrier (DHL, EMS, FedEx, etc.).

Real-World Cost Reduction Example

Scenario 5 Separate Packages 1 Consolidated Parcel Savings
Total Weight ~8.5 kg (fragmented) ~7.8 kg (optimized)
Volumetric Weight High (5 boxes) Optimized (1 box) Significant
Estimated Freight $185 - $220 $110 - $135 **35-40%**

Note: Actual savings vary based on items, destination, and carrier. The consolidation service fee is minimal and included in the overall calculation.

Maintaining Delivery Reliability & Security

Cost-saving does not mean compromising on safety. BaseTao ensures reliability throughout:

Expert Packaging

Our team uses quality materials and techniques to protect fragile and non-fragile items alike during transit.

Comprehensive Inspection

Optional quality-check photos are available before consolidation, so you know exactly what is being packed.

Carrier Partnerships

We work with top-tier international carriers, providing tracking, insurance options, and proven delivery networks.

Simplified Logistics

One tracking number, one customs declaration, and one point of contact streamline the entire process and reduce errors.
