If you're sourcing from multiple suppliers in China, shipping each order separately is expensive and inefficient. Warehouse consolidation services in Guangzhou solve this problem by combining all your purchases into a single shipment — saving 30-50% on freight costs.
Here's everything you need to know about cargo consolidation in Guangzhou.
1. What Is Warehouse Consolidation?
Warehouse consolidation means receiving goods from multiple suppliers at one central warehouse, then combining them into a single container or shipment for international delivery.
2. Cost Savings Breakdown
| Scenario | Without Consolidation | With Consolidation | Savings |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3 suppliers, 8 CBM each | 3 x LCL @ $180/CBM = $4,320 | 1 x FCL 20ft = $2,800 | 35% |
| 5 suppliers, 3 CBM each | 5 x LCL @ $200/CBM = $3,000 | 1 x LCL 15CBM @ $150/CBM = $2,250 | 25% |
| 2 suppliers, 12 CBM each | 2 x LCL @ $170/CBM = $4,080 | 1 x FCL 40ft = $4,200 | More space, same cost |
