I find it a bit strange that you cannot see the shipping cost before you finalize consolidation. They know all the measurements from the packages and weight. Now it just seems a gamble with whatever number they come up with after consolidation.
Would you suggest consolidating if you have a lot of packages some of which are bigger? eveything together it's 11 packages all around 20 to ship individually but one being 45. I assume that everything in 1 big box would surely be cheaper consolidated? counting up just 8 of the packages it's already close to 200 euros to ship seperately.. i wouldn't see how 1 package containing some games, a folded up DDR pad and a few controllers would be 200 bucks to ship.
For me it’s definitely cheaper to ship everything together, especially if you have many small things. Based on what I tried so far, consolidating all my packages was cheaper than shipping separately. However if I have only 2 - 3 items, the consolidated shipping cost was almost the same or more than the separate shipping cost. But to be honest, I currently use Tenso or Zenmarket to buy stuff from Japan. I find their rates better. I only use Buyee for the discount coupons and access to Mercari now.
Hihi! Yes you can. After consolidation you will move on to Shipping. At that step you can select shipping method. You can check out my other video below. To see the process. ruclips.net/video/eQhmZnVBenY/видео.html Hope this helps :)
Hihi! Good question! Unfortunately, I didn't check the shipping price if I shipped this video's items individually. Should have done that before consolidating. You can check out my blog post, on a post-analysis of the fees. It's ABIT cheaper if I didn't consolidate the package. fairybro.com/perks-not-so-perks-of-using-buyee/ But I made a few other orders on Buyee and from my price comparisons, it can also be cheaper if I consolidate 2 items, especially if I can keep the consolidated package as a Registered Small Package (AIR). The 2 items will share the shipping and consolidation fee. Only 2 items because the consolidated fee is 500 yen only. If you consolidate 3 and more items, it is 1000 yen. If you plan to consolidate more, best to have a lot more items to make the consolidation fee worth it. That's what I would think if I have bought a lot of things from Buyee in a month. Note that the free number of storage days is 30 days. Beyond that there is an additional fee. So keep a track of the days on the stored items page if you plan to store items to mass consolidate them! Hope this helps!
As someone who just ordered 3 separate items as 1 package. Shipping them to me without consolidation would've costed around $125. With consolidation it costed me $70.
With consolidate shipping, is PayPal still an option? If I consolidate multiple items into one. Like more than 2 packages into one. Would I still be able to use PayPal? Because I saw on another video where someone consolidate shipping multiple packages but PayPal did not show as an option. And it concerned me.
@@PuteriSarah456 Hihi! Usually yes, the savings is from the reduced number of shipping fee, especially if you have many small items to ship out & all combined can keep within the size of the small packet airmail shipping method. Even if the parcel becomes big from consolidation, surface is also an option for cheaper shipping method.
Yes you can still use airmail, but depends on the size of the overal package. If the parcel becomes too big after consolidation, you may need to opt for other shipping methods. Perhaps can ask Buyee to check the size before consolidation.
I don't think you can consolidate from different buyers, since you can only consolidate the items bought within the same account. But you can consolidate items you bought from different sellers using the same account; e.g. I can buy from Mercari and Yahoo Auctions (different sellers) & if the items arrives at Buyee's warehouse within the holding period of Buyee, you can consolidate them together. Hope this clarifies!

Yeaaa >.< wish there was a function to check shipping cost before consolidation
This is so beautiful.
Thank you!

When I consolidated my package, I could still use Paypal. So I didn't encounter that issue. :x
is there more savings if consolidation?

@@fairybro thank you my friend I am happy to accept this as advice
@@PuteriSarah456 your welcome! Glad this was helpful for u!
Hello~~ I wanna know if u know if I can still use Airmail delivery when I consolidate things?
Yes you can still use airmail, but depends on the size of the overal package. If the parcel becomes too big after consolidation, you may need to opt for other shipping methods. Perhaps can ask Buyee to check the size before consolidation.
Hi, how long it would take to consolidate the packages?
It took 1 day for them to consolidate my package. That’s on a weekday.
@@fairybro ok, ty
@@Kuro760 no problem!
Can you consolidate from different buyers?
I don't think you can consolidate from different buyers, since you can only consolidate the items bought within the same account.

How many days it took to be ready?
From request for consolidation to shipping, Buyee took 3 days previously. :)
The shipping address cannot be changed after consolidation?
Hihi! Yes, you can. After consolidation, you will move on to Shipping.
At that step, you can change the shipping address.
