Consolidation Request Process
A consolidation request allows you to repackage multiple mail items into a single shipment, reducing shipping costs and improving efficiency.
When you submit a consolidation request, our operator will physically gather the items you’ve selected for consolidation, repackage them into a single shipment, and calculate the new dimensions, weight, and material costs (e.g., boxes, large envelopes). These details, including the shipping costs, will then be updated in the system.
Shipping Criteria:
- Items under 13 oz (envelopes only): If the consolidated items weigh less than 13 oz and consist solely of envelopes, they can be consolidated and shipped in one step.
- Items over 13 oz or mixed contents (envelopes and packages): If the total weight exceeds 13 oz or the consolidation includes both envelopes and packages, the items must first be consolidated before they can be shipped.
Once the consolidation is complete, a new mail item will appear in your inbox, labeled as “Ready for Shipment.” You can then request shipping by selecting the consolidated item and clicking the “Ship” option.
