Many online shoppers from Hong Kong and Taiwan often encounter a ridiculous problem:Originally, the shipping cost for individual items was very low, but after multiple orders were combined into a container, the shipping cost actually skyrocketed by 30% to 80%。

Although the intention was to save money by choosing consolidated shipping and container consolidation, in the end, due to problems such as random packaging, loose packing, excessive filling, and repeated outer packaging in the warehouse, the volume weight of the package soared, far exceeding the actual weight, resulting in high additional freight charges.

The vast majority of the sharp increase in container shipping rates is not due to the weight of the goods, but ratherThe volume weight was artificially enlarged。

The general billing logic for cross-border Hong Kong and Taiwan consolidated shipping: Logistics billing weight =MAX (actual weighing, volumetric weight). The larger the volume, the higher the billing weight, and the freight naturally doubles.

• The extra outer packaging will not be removedAll the original factory express boxes, extra packaging bags, tags and advertising cartons of online shopping items are retained. After multiple orders are stacked, the volume becomes seriously redundant
• Overfilling and loose packagingA large amount of bubble wrap, cardboard and foam are randomly stuffed into the warehouse without being compacted or neatly arranged. The packages are fluffy and hollow, with an inflated volume
• Unordered stacking does not optimize the layoutLarge and small items are piled up haphazardly with huge gaps and not arranged in an orderly manner, which wastes a lot of transportation space
• Blindly combining boxes without distinguishing the categoriesForcibly merging large items, fluffy items, fragile items and small sundries cannot reduce the volume; instead, it increases the overall billing volume

These problems are extremely common on small consolidated shipping platforms without service standards and are also the minefields that 80% of new Hong Kong and Taiwan consolidated shipping beginners must step into.

To completely avoid it, the key lies in choiceThere are standardized container packaging norms and transparent operationsA formal consolidated shipping platform, such as Taojiyun, which has been deeply involved in cross-border logistics between Hong Kong and Taiwan for many years.

• Reduce the filling materials as needed, remove excess foam and bubble wrap, and neatly and compacted the wrapping to prevent the volume from being loose and inflated
• Intelligent layout stacking, reasonable combination of large and small items, maximizes the utilization of wrapping space, and reduces the overall volume weight

• All packages can be provided with real photo services after being warehoused, packed and combined into boxes. Users can verify the volume of the packages and the packing effect in advance
• The billing weight and volume data are open and transparent, and can be queried in real time through the APP. There are no arbitrary price hikes and no hidden charges
• The entire packaging process is standardized and manually operated, with a professional team in control to avoid random packaging errors by humans
