Step-by-step instructions for multi-supplier order consolidation at our China receiving warehouses to reduce volumetric waste and slash international freight fees.
Step-by-step instructions for multi-supplier order consolidation at our China receiving warehouses to reduce volumetric waste and slash international freight fees.
When purchasing from diverse suppliers on 1688.com, Taobao, or Alibaba, shipping each package individually across borders results in repeated minimum freight charges and wasted packaging volume.
Step 1: Request Your Unique Northern Logistics Client ID
Contact our dispatch coordinator on WhatsApp to receive your dedicated client shipping code and Chinese warehouse address in simplified Chinese characters.
Step 2: Instruct Suppliers with Your Client Code
Provide your suppliers with our Guangzhou or Yiwu consolidation warehouse address, ensuring your unique client code is clearly printed on the parcel shipping labels. You can also view our operations and facilities gallery to see our daily receiving workflow.
Step 3: Parcel Inspection & Holding
As your suppliers deliver parcels to our warehouse, our team:
- Logs tracking numbers into our receiving system.
- Conducts exterior carton inspection and photographs the goods.
- Holds parcels free of charge in our secure warehouse until all your orders have arrived.
Step 4: Re-Packing & Consolidated Dispatch
Once all items arrive, our warehouse crew removes redundant merchant packaging, nests compatible items, binds cartons with high-tensile strapping, and wraps the pallet in moisture-proof protective film. Your consolidated cargo then departs via air cargo or sea freight container on one single master waybill—saving you up to 35% on shipping fees!
