Smart logistics are key to efficient international shopping. By combining multiple purchases into a single shipment, you can significantly reduce your overall shipping costs. This guide explains how CNFANS handles package consolidation and how you can estimate your total parcel weight before checkout.
What is Package Consolidation?
Consolidation is the process where our warehouse team gathers items from your different orders, repacks them securely into one single box (or minimal number of boxes), and dispatches it as one shipment to your destination address. Instead of paying separate fees for multiple small packages, you pay for one consolidated shipment, which is almost always more economical.

How to Estimate Total Parcel Weight Before Checkout
Accurately estimating weight helps you budget for shipping. Here’s how to get a good estimate:
- Check Seller Listings:
- Use Our Estimation Tool:pre-consolidation estimated weight
- Understand Volumetric Weight:
- The 15% Buffer Rule:10-15% to your total item weight estimate. This accounts for our protective repacking materials (bubble wrap, sturdy box). This buffer gives you a realistic final weight approximation for cost planning.
- Use Our Estimation Tool:pre-consolidation estimated weight
