Consolidating freight after a Shahe sourcing trip

Fast-fashion stock at Shahe piles up quickly. Settle carton and carton marks before the first payment, not at the end of the day.

Decide before you buy

Choose before negotiation whether pieces go in luggage, a pallet via your forwarder, or a later consolidation.

The same box costs different prices depending on who packs it.

Cartons and counts

Lock carton count, dimensions and gross weight with the stall before you pay.

Re-packing in Guangzhou is slow and visible on the invoice.

Keep the marks

Every carton carries your mark and the stall ticket stays with the matching pieces.

Mixed multi-stall pickups are where goods go missing.

Multi-market days

Consolidate once at the end of the day, not per market.

Sort, label and count before leaving Shahe for the next block.

Documents

Ask each stall for whatever document your country or forwarder needs and note it on the order copy.

Confirm requirements before travel.

Freight costs depend on volume and destination; confirm with your forwarder.
