Parcel Processing
Why combine delivery?
Combining delivery of multiple items from your warehouse not only ensures professional packaging, but also helps save on international shipping costs as compared to separate shipments.
Shipping Cost Example
An example of selecting 联邮通标准挂号-铺货 for shipment to the United States.
Assuming the first weight is 500g, costing 60 CNY, and each subsequent weight of 500g is priced at 20 CNY
Let's assume you have 3 items that weigh 500g, 700g, and 900g respectively.
1. Regular Shipping (Individual)
If you opt for regular shipping (where parcels are sent individually), the cost will be 316.1 CNY.
81.5 + 107.7 + 126.9 = 316.1 CNY
2. Combined Shipping
If you select the option of combined shipping, the shipping fee will only be 284.1 CNY.
The combined weight of the parcel is calculated as follows: 500g + 700g + 900g = 2100g.
Shipping fee: 284.1 CNY
Combining shipments saves you 2 first weights + 2 operation fees, and directly saves 316.1-284.1=32CNY in shipping
Size-Based Calculation
If your package weighs 500g but it is considered a large-sized item with dimensions of 35*35*10, then the calculation method for the shipping fee is ((35*35*5)/6000) = 1.02 kg. Therefore, the shipping fee needs to be calculated based on 1.02 kilograms.
Tips
The weight and quantity of a parcel are key factors that various countries use to determine if it's a personal or commercial shipment. Parcels over 10KG have a higher likelihood of being classified as commercial, and a large quantity of the same item is another significant reason for being regarded as commercial. Therefore, we suggest considering the weight and number of items when selecting the option to combine multiple items for shipping.
