Cargo Consolidation in Guangzhou

Receive goods from many suppliers in one warehouse, re-pack for density, and ship one consolidated load to the UAE or Saudi Arabia.

What's included

Consolidation covers receiving, sorting, repacking, and outbound dispatch under one fee schedule.

  • Inbound truck booking from any Chinese factory
  • Receiving, weighing, measuring, and photographing on arrival
  • Online dashboard with status of every line
  • Free storage for the first 14 days
  • Optional re-pack, palletising, and shrink-wrap
  • Carton labelling, marking, and barcoding
  • Outbound booking via sea or air with full export documentation

How it works

  1. You give each supplier our Guangzhou warehouse address as the delivery destination.
  2. Supplier ships locally; we receive, scan, photograph, and post to your dashboard.
  3. Once all lines arrive (or you decide to dispatch what is ready), you trigger consolidation.
  4. We re-pack, palletise, and label per your instructions.
  5. We book sea or air freight and produce the export packing list and commercial invoice.
  6. You receive a single bill of lading or AWB covering all the merged orders.

When to use this vs. alternatives

Use consolidation any time you buy from 2 or more suppliers per shipment cycle. Even two parcels of 0.3 CBM each shipped separately by air courier will cost more than one 0.6 CBM consolidated air shipment. For single-supplier full container loads, consolidation is unnecessary and you should ship direct factory-to-port using our FCL service. For sample shipments below 30 kg, courier direct is faster than consolidating.

Frequently asked questions

How does consolidation save money? +
Three ways. First, you replace several small parcels (each paying minimum freight) with one shipment. Second, total CBM goes down because we re-pack into denser cartons. Third, you pay one customs clearance fee instead of several. On a typical order from 3-5 suppliers the saving is 30-45% of total landed cost.
Where is your warehouse? +
Guangzhou, near Baiyun district. ~2,000 m² of bonded and non-bonded space. Inland trucks from Yiwu, Shenzhen, Foshan, and Dongguan factories arrive daily.
How long can goods stay in the warehouse? +
First 14 days are free. After that, storage is $0.50 per CBM per day. Goods can stay up to 90 days; beyond that we require pre-shipment instructions.
Do you re-pack or just stack pallets? +
We re-pack on request. Most clients ask us to remove individual courier cartons, palletise, and shrink-wrap. This typically reduces total CBM by 10-20%. Re-pack labour is $5 per carton for standard work.
How do you track which goods belong to which order? +
Each supplier shipment gets a unique reference on arrival, weighed and measured, photographed, and logged in our portal. You see CBM, weight, photos, and arrival date for every line.
What about damaged or short-shipped goods from suppliers? +
We photograph and weigh every incoming shipment. If quantity is short or carton is damaged, we notify you the same day and you raise a claim with the supplier. We can hold the consolidation while the supplier sends replacements.
Can you consolidate goods that need different freight modes? +
Yes, but they ship as separate consolidations. Sea freight items go to our LCL/FCL service and air items go to air freight. Single warehouse, two outbound flows.
