Shopping from Taobao, JD.com, or 1688 is exciting—you can find unique items at great prices. But once your cart is full, the real challenge begins: How do you ship everything internationally without overspending?
That’s where package consolidation comes in. By combining multiple orders into a single shipment, you can cut costs, reduce risks, and simplify your shopping experience.
If you’re new to this, here’s some quick context:
- A Taobao agent helps international buyers shop from Chinese e-commerce sites that don’t directly support overseas shipping.
- Sugargoo is one of the leading platforms in this space, offering not just shopping support but also secure payment, consolidation, and delivery solutions.
Why Combine Multiple Orders?
The golden rule of international shipping is simple: sending a single item on its own is rarely cost-effective. Because of the high first weight fee, mailing just one shirt or accessory overseas can cost almost as much as shipping several together. By combining orders, you distribute that fee across multiple products, dramatically lowering your average shipping cost.
Another big advantage: cross-platform shopping. Items bought separately from Taobao, JD.com, or 1688 can all be delivered to Sugargoo’s warehouse and merged into one international package (See Taobao vs JD vs 1688: Which One Should You Use?) Instead of juggling multiple shipments, you save money and simplify tracking with just a single parcel.
Step-by-Step Tutorial: How to Combine Orders
Step 1. Items Arrive at the Warehouse
When sellers ship your goods, they’re sent to Sugargoo’s warehouse. Once received, you can view them directly in Packing Center.
- You automatically get 5 free QC photos. For extra reassurance, order detailed checks, measurements, or tests.
- The Portable Bag section shows which items are ready for processing — shipping, consolidation, or storage.
Step 2. Consolidating Parcels
One of the smartest moves when shopping from China is parcel consolidation. Instead of shipping each item separately, Sugargoo combines them into one box.
Steps:
- Select the products to ship together.
- Click Submit Parcel.
- Sugargoo repacks and secures everything.
Extras:
- Rehearsal Shipping → preview costs under different methods.
- Storage Extension → delay shipping until more products arrive.
Step 3. Enter Delivery Information
Before sending abroad:
- Enter your delivery address.
- Decide whether to add services (waterproof wrapping, extra tape, insurance).
For fragile items, it’s wise to select protective add-ons such as bubble wrap, crates, or reinforced boxes. You can also explore different delivery add-ons or add shipping insurance for extra peace of mind.
- Select a shipping route: DHL/FedEx for speed, air freight for balance, or sea freight for bulk.
Choosing the right route can save you the most. For a breakdown, see shipping methods.
If you’re shipping to countries like Spain, the UK, the Netherlands, Canada, or Australia, Sugargoo provides dedicated lines. You can review the main options for your destination and pick the route that balances cost and delivery time best. Check save on shipping before confirming.
Step 4. Pay for Shipping
After confirming the shipping method, click Checkout and pay for international delivery. Payment options include PayPal, Visa, MasterCard, bank transfer, or your account balance. More details: payment guide.
Step 5. Track Your Parcel
Sugargoo generates a tracking number once the package leaves the warehouse. You can monitor it under My Parcel.
