What Is Sample Consolidation?
Let's say you want to test products from 5 different 1688 factories.
The old way: Every factory ships a separate box straight to you. You end up paying 5 different international shipping bills, dealing with customs 5 times, and wasting a ton of money on basic freight.
Our way: All 5 factories send their samples to our warehouse in China first. We open the boxes, check the items, snap some quick photos for you, and pack everything tightly into one single box. You pay international shipping just once, cut your logistics costs by up to 70%, and deal with zero customs headaches.

⚠️ A Few Quick Ground Rules:
Overweight or oversized items: If you are shipping something huge or incredibly heavy (like machinery parts or bulk furniture samples), please chat with us first so we can work out a fair handling price.
Dangerous goods & liquids: Let us know ahead of time if your samples contain batteries, liquids, powders, or magnets. These require special shipping routes.
