My last combined order with direct ship selected was on mid of July, should be non sales period.

The 3 order was shipped out separately with 3 different tracking numbers.

Hi guys,
What’s the difference between the first air fright option and 2nd one?
My item is less than 500g

First is consolidation shipping, once item reached warehouse, they will weigh your item and give you shipping fee, then you have to pay the shipping fee for them to ship out your item.

Second one is direct shipping, when you choose this option, you pay the item fee + international shipping fee upon checkout, then you just wait for your item to reach your door step.

If seller put wrong weight or dimension of the item, the international shipping fee will reflect the wrong price for direct shipping.

For consolidation shipping, they will weigh your item once reached the warehouse, meaning the weight is the actual weight, but for this method, you have to pay item fee and shipping fee separately.

I’ve been using direct shipping to buy electronics (or sensitive items as it’s labelled like that) and no issues
Just that for this really small/light item that shipping fee is a bit too expensive

So no issues using taobao’s consolidate service for electronics? I do like that it starts with 500g minimum instead of 1kg like other forwarders.
For the economic shipping option still use air freight?

Long time didn't use their consolidation shipping, so I have no idea.

Your item x20, so I am not sure the weight.
Sometimes the individual packaging of one item add up which caused the weight to shoot up, or it could be error in the weight or dimensions declared by seller.

If you want, you can confirm with seller via chat, that the x20 of your item is really 500g or less, then you may choose consolidation shipping.

The 3rd option you mentioned is consolidation economy sea shipping.
