Combine multiple packages into one shipment

When consolidation is worth it

Airfreight to Nepal and India has a base fee that applies to every outgoing box. If you have three separate boxes sitting on our shelves, you pay that fee three times. Combining them into one outgoing box means you pay it once.

It is almost always worth it if:

  • You have 2 or more packages from the same country.
  • Total combined weight is under 20 kg (our single-box practical limit).
  • None of the items are extremely fragile (glass, ceramics) -- those ship separately for safety.

How to trigger it

  1. On your mailbox dashboard, tick the boxes you want combined.
  2. Click Consolidate selected.
  3. Choose whether to remove retailer packaging. Removing it shrinks the outgoing box and often lowers shipping cost further. Leave it on if you want the items to arrive in original retail packaging (gifts, resale).
  4. Confirm. We pull the boxes off the shelves and repack them within one business day.

What it costs

$1 per extra package beyond the first, plus an optional $2 to remove retailer cartons. That is it. There is no per-kilo consolidation fee -- the savings come from paying airfreight on one chargeable weight instead of several.

Example

Three kurtas from Myntra in separate boxes: shipping them individually runs roughly $18 per box. Consolidated into one outgoing package, the bill is closer to $28 total. Around $26 saved, for a 1-2 day wait while we repack.
