PACKAGE CONSOLIDATION OR COMBINE AND REPACK SERVICES

Package consolidation works a little differently. We’ll consolidate your package into one airway bill, but won’t remove the original packaging.

What this means is that your packages may remain completely separate from each other, but still be in the same shipment, or they may be combined into one box but remain in their original packaging.

The key difference is that your packages will remain in their original packaging and won’t necessarily be packed together into one box.

The process for ordering multiple orders from different retailers, consolidating or repackaging and then combining them into one handy shipment is as simple as:

• Your first parcel arrives at the warehouse
  This will start your free 30 day period for holding your packages. 
   
• The rest of your items arrive at the warehouse

We’ll hold onto your packages while we wait for all of your orders from different retailers to arrive.

• Your packages are carefully consolidated or repackaged and made safe & secure for international shipping
• Combine & Repack - Your orders will be carefully re-packaged into one larger package once they’ve all arrived. When your packages have been combined & repacked we will make them safe and secure for shipping around the world. This will be done in the best way possible to keep your items safe.
• Consolidate - your items remain in their original packaging but are consolidated into one shipment, sometimes this includes adding them to one box.
• You’ll receive a notification and you will need to select your courier

When we’ve received all of your packages and merged them, you’ll receive a notification. At this point, you just need to log in to your account to select your courier. This is when you’ll need to pay any additional costs.

• The cost of re-packaging costs £3 UK/ $3 USA / €3 Europe / ¥600 Japan+VAT per package if you have chosen ‘combine & repack’
• It’s free to hold your items for 30 days, after this it’s an additional £0.50 per day
• Your package is shipped with your chosen courier and arrives on your doorstep
