Do armazém na China até à sua porta — nós tratamos do resto.

Combine parcels from multiple Chinese suppliers, remove unnecessary packaging and prepare a more efficient shipment before international delivery.

1688Fulfillment helps overseas buyers bring orders from different 1688 sellers, Alibaba suppliers, factories and other Chinese suppliers into one China warehouse.

Once the required parcels have arrived, we can consolidate the goods, remove unnecessary outer packaging where appropriate, repack them into a more organized shipment and prepare the final cartons for international transportation.

Multiple suppliers. One warehouse. One better-organized shipment.

What Is Consolidation?

Consolidation means combining products or parcels from multiple suppliers into fewer final shipments before international transportation.

Instead of asking every supplier to ship internationally on their own, you can have them send the goods domestically to our China warehouse.

Por exemplo:

Fornecedor A

Fornecedor B

Fornecedor C

Fornecedor D

1688 Armazém de Logística na China

Receive + Store + Check + Consolidate + Repack

Final Shipment

Envio internacional

This gives you greater control over what is being shipped and how the final shipment is prepared.

Why Consolidate Supplier Orders?

When purchasing from several Chinese suppliers, each supplier normally packs and ships their own parcel separately.

This can result in:

Consolidating the goods before international shipping can make the entire process easier to manage.

Um armazém para vários fornecedores

Your suppliers do not need to be on the same platform.

Subject to cargo acceptance requirements, parcels may be received from:

1688 vendedores

Orders from multiple 1688 sellers can be sent to the same warehouse.

Fornecedores da Alibaba

Goods purchased from Alibaba suppliers may be combined with other supplier orders.

Fábricas chinesas

Factory-direct products can be sent to our warehouse before international shipping.

Vendedores do Taobao / Tmall

Supported domestic marketplace parcels may also be received.

Chinese Wholesalers

Goods from wholesalers and distributors can be included in the same fulfillment process.

Outros fornecedores chineses

Other China-based suppliers may also send parcels to the warehouse after the receiving details are confirmed.

You buy from different suppliers. We bring the goods together.

How Multi-Supplier Consolidation Works

The process is designed around the fact that different suppliers rarely deliver on the same day.

Step 1 — Contact Our Team

Tell us how many suppliers are involved and what type of goods you are purchasing.

Step 2 — Receive Warehouse Instructions

We provide the applicable warehouse receiving information and any required customer or parcel reference.

Step 3 — Suppliers Ship Domestically

Each supplier sends the goods to our China warehouse.

Step 4 — We Receive and Identify Parcels

Incoming parcels are matched with your available order and customer information.

Step 5 — Goods Wait for Other Suppliers

Earlier parcels can remain at the warehouse while the remaining supplier orders are still on the way.

Step 6 — Confirm All Required Goods Have Arrived

Once the parcels required for the final shipment are ready, consolidation can begin.

Step 7 — Consolidate and Repack

We combine the appropriate goods and prepare the final shipment according to the confirmed requirements.

Step 8 — Final Packing Confirmation

Final carton information may be provided before international dispatch.

Step 9 — International Shipping

Once confirmed, the shipment can proceed through the applicable air, sea, land or DDP transportation solution.

Repacking Before International Shipping

Consolidation and repacking are related, but they are not exactly the same thing.

Consolidação means bringing multiple supplier orders together.

Reembalagem means reorganizing those goods into more suitable final packaging.

Supplier packaging is normally designed for domestic delivery inside China.

It is not always the most efficient packaging for international transportation.

Our warehouse can therefore review the packaging and repack goods where appropriate.

What Packaging May Be Removed?

Depending on the products and their condition, unnecessary packaging may include:

We only remove packaging where it is reasonable to do so.

Packaging needed to protect the goods should be retained.

Why Pay to Ship Empty Space?

International shipping cost is often affected not only by actual weight but also by the space occupied by the shipment.

A large carton containing a relatively small product may create unnecessary volumetric weight.

This is particularly common when:

Where appropriate, repacking can reduce unnecessary packaging and improve the efficiency of the final shipment.

Porquê pagar para transportar espaço vazio?

Actual Weight vs Volumetric Weight

Some shipping methods calculate chargeable weight using the greater of:

Actual Weight

or

Volumetric Weight

Actual weight is the physical weight of the shipment.

Volumetric weight reflects how much transportation space the shipment occupies.

Because of this, a lightweight but very large carton can sometimes cost more to ship than a smaller, heavier carton.

Efficient packing may help reduce avoidable shipping volume.

However, we do not guarantee a specific reduction in volumetric weight or freight cost.

Before and After Repacking

A typical supplier shipment may arrive as:

Before Repacking

After consolidation, the final shipment may become:

After Repacking

The exact packing result depends on the products involved.

What We Consider Before Repacking

Reducing volume is important, but protecting the goods is more important.

Before removing packaging, we consider factors such as:

We do not remove protective packaging simply to make a carton smaller if doing so would create an unreasonable risk of damage.

Protective Packaging

Where necessary, we may retain or add appropriate protective materials.

Depending on the shipment, this may include:

Additional packaging-material charges may apply where special protection is requested or required.

Fragile Goods

Fragile goods require additional attention during consolidation and repacking.

Examples may include:

Customers should inform us if products require special handling.

Additional packaging or special preparation may be recommended.

Keep or Remove Original Packaging

Some customers want to remove retail boxes to reduce volume.

Others need to keep the original packaging for resale.

This should be confirmed before repacking.

Keep Original Packaging When

Original retail packaging is important for:

Remove Packaging Where Appropriate When

Unnecessary external packaging creates avoidable shipping volume and is not required by the customer.

Tell our team your preference before final packing.

Multi-SKU Orders

Consolidation is particularly useful for e-commerce sellers and wholesalers purchasing multiple SKUs.

Where applicable, products can be organized according to the confirmed packing instructions.

Por exemplo:

More complex sorting or customized packing requirements may involve additional handling charges.

Consolidation Does Not Automatically Mean Product Inspection

Receiving and combining parcels does not automatically include detailed product inspection.

If you want us to check the goods before consolidation, request the appropriate inspection service.

Depending on the service arrangement, we may check:

Inspection should be requested before final packing if it is important to your order.

Inspection Before Repacking

For many customers, the best sequence is:

Receber

Inspecionar

Identify Problems

Resolve Supplier Issues

Consolidar

Reembalar

Navio

This prevents a known supplier problem from being packed into the final international shipment.

Primeiro, verifique. Depois, envie.

What Happens if a Problem Is Found?

If a visible issue is identified during the requested inspection, we can provide available photos or videos.

Possible issues may include:

You can then decide whether to:

Where requested, we may assist with warehouse-side return or exchange handling.

Wait for Replacement Goods

If one supplier needs to send replacement goods, the rest of your order does not necessarily need to be shipped immediately.

Other supplier parcels can remain at our warehouse while the replacement is being arranged.

Once the replacement arrives, it can be checked and included in the final consolidated shipment.

This is one of the main advantages of consolidating goods in China before international transportation.

Final Carton Preparation

Once the goods are consolidated and repacked, the final cartons can be prepared for shipping.

Depending on your service arrangement, we may record:

This information can then be used to prepare the applicable international shipping quotation.

Final Packing Photos

Where included, we can provide final packing photos before dispatch.

This allows you to see how the consolidated shipment has been prepared.

You can review details such as:

Where required, additional packing changes should be requested before the shipment leaves the warehouse.

Shipping Quote After Repacking

For many shipments, the most accurate international freight quotation is available after the final packing is completed.

This is because the final:

may be different from the original supplier packaging.

The applicable shipping solution can then be confirmed based on the final shipment information.

International Shipping After Consolidation

Once the final shipment is ready, we can help arrange international transportation.

Depending on the destination and cargo, options may include:

Transporte aéreo de mercadorias

Suitable for smaller shipments and higher delivery-time requirements.

Transporte marítimo

Suitable for larger, heavier or higher-volume shipments.

Transporte terrestre

Available on selected supported routes.

Envio DDP

For eligible cargo and destinations, door-to-door DDP shipping may be arranged according to the confirmed quotation and terms.

Consolidation for DDP Shipping

Consolidation works especially well with DDP shipping.

Instead of sending several supplier shipments separately:

Supplier A + Supplier B + Supplier C

Armazém na China

Consolidação

Reembalagem

Final Shipment

Transporte Internacional DDP

A tua porta

This creates a more coordinated fulfillment process from China to the final destination.

Can Consolidation Reduce Shipping Costs?

It can improve shipping efficiency in many situations, particularly where supplier parcels contain excessive or duplicated packaging.

Potential benefits may include:

However, shipping savings are not guaranteed.

The final freight cost depends on:

We do not promise a fixed percentage of shipping-cost reduction.

No Guaranteed Volume Reduction

Each order is different.

Some products can be repacked significantly.

Others require most of their original packaging for protection.

Therefore, we do not guarantee:

Our objective is to optimize the packaging where practical while maintaining reasonable protection for the goods.

Special Packing Requests

If you have specific packing requirements, tell us before repacking begins.

Possible requests may include:

Special requests may involve additional labor or packaging costs.

Branding and Supplier Information

Some customers may want unnecessary supplier-facing material removed from the final shipment.

Where practical and requested, this may include items such as:

However, we will not remove product information, regulatory labels or other materials where doing so would be inappropriate or could affect legal or shipping requirements.

Packaging Materials

Standard repacking may require materials such as:

Additional charges may apply where unusually large quantities or special packaging materials are required.

Oversized and Heavy Cargo

Oversized or very heavy goods may not be suitable for ordinary parcel consolidation.

Examples include:

These shipments may require:

Please confirm oversized or heavy cargo before suppliers ship.

Restricted and Special Cargo

Some products require additional review before consolidation or international shipping.

Examples may include:

Different cargo types may need to remain separated or use different transportation routes.

Do not assume that all products can be consolidated into the same international shipment.

Cargo Compatibility

Some products should not be packed together because of:

Where necessary, goods may need to be separated into different shipments.

Our team will advise based on the available shipping arrangement.

Storage While Waiting for Consolidation

Different suppliers often deliver on different dates.

Received goods can remain at the warehouse while you wait for other supplier parcels according to the applicable storage arrangement.

Common reasons for waiting include:

Storage terms and any applicable charges are governed by our Warehouse Terms & Storage Policy.
