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
The Power of Parcel Consolidation
BaseTao’s Parcel Consolidation Service
How BaseTao Consolidation Works
Warehouse Receiving
All your packages arrive at your personal BaseTao warehouse address. Our system tracks each item.
Storage & Awaiting Consolidation
Items are stored securely for up to 90 days free, allowing you to shop from multiple sellers over time.
Professional Packing
Our team expertly packs all items into one secure, right-sized box, removing excess seller packaging to save weight and volume.
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.
