- Reduced risk of damage by professional re-packing
- Custom packing options for fragile or high-value items
- Photo & video inspection on request
- Assistance with customs documentation to speed clearance
How it works - simple 4-step process
At SHOPPER A, we designed consolidation to be straightforward and transparent. Here’s what happens after you place orders at various stores:
- Get your US/EU address: Sign up with SHOPPER A and receive a personal warehouse address to use at checkout.
- We receive your parcels: When packages arrive, our team logs them, verifies contents, and stores them in your account.
- Approve consolidation: Choose which parcels to combine, request removals (receipts, extra boxes), or ask for photos.
- Ship once: We pack items into one optimized shipment and send it via your preferred carrier and service level.
Pricing & billing
Consolidation fees at SHOPPER A are transparent and depend on the number of incoming packages and special handling requests. Standard consolidation starts at $3.00 per consolidation operation. Final international shipping charges (carrier rates, fuel surcharges, and customs duties) are billed separately at the time of shipment.

Frequently Asked Questions
01. How many packages can I consolidate?
There’s no strict upper limit - you may consolidate any number of parcels received at your warehouse address with SHOPPER A, subject to size and weight restrictions of the final international carrier. If you plan very large volumes, contact our support for a tailored plan.
02. Can you remove original packaging and receipts?
Yes. SHOPPER A can remove excess packaging and printed invoices upon request to reduce volume and weight. Sensitive documents are handled according to your instructions. Note: removal of invoices may affect customs processing in some countries - we advise keeping necessary paperwork for customs clearance.
03. Do you provide photos of contents before consolidation?
Absolutely. Photo and video inspection is available on demand. Choose this option in your SHOPPER A dashboard when confirming consolidation - we upload images to your parcel history before packing.
04. How long does consolidation take?
Once all selected parcels are received at SHOPPER A's facility, consolidation usually takes 1–2 business days. Expedited processing is available for an additional fee.
05. What if one of my consolidated items is restricted?
SHOPPER A screens incoming parcels for restricted or prohibited items. If an item is restricted for export/import, we’ll notify you immediately and provide options: return to sender, dispose, or remove from consolidation.
