5 Conditions for USA Freight Consolidation

Freight consolidation is an act of bringing together/ combining many freight of different sources into one. It is the cheapest means of shipping. It could save one of 80% of what regular courier service will offer.

This is done by accepting freight of lesser weight from difference consigners who might not avoid a regular courier service.

However, since it is consolidated goods, there could be delay in shipment because consolidated freight cannot be shipped in until it is accumulated to actual weight of shipment. (100kg as required by airline).

Valuehandlers understand our partners’ feelings when their freights are delayed. The outburst anger, unfair comments, and poor reception at delivery hence our concerted efforts to bring to your notice things you should know before you consolidate your freight as follows;

1.       Airline Requirement: The minimum of 100kg is the Airline requirement for shipping. Until this weight is in place, we may not be able to ship out of USA.

2.       Delivery price / Freight cost: This service is the cheapest way to import packages from USA to Nigeria: Many subscribers of this service opt for it because the service is relatively cheap compare to courier service or express shipping / direct shipping. They prefer to use this service since it could save them 80% of what regular courier service will offer. While courier service provider, like DHL will charge N80,000 for less than 5kg (duty not inclusive), our USA consol service might charge N15,000 (duty inclusive).

3.       Delivery timeline to Nigeria: Consolidation usually takes 7 – 15 Days to Nigeria. However, Airline prefer Direct shipments during peak time and this might lead to delay of consol shipment during peak period.

4.       Labeling: Shipments must be properly labelled. The delivery is dependent of proper labelling of inbound shipment. When consolidator receives shipments that are not properly labeled in the warehouse, is either he rejects it and return it back to supplier, or he keeps it in the facility until report comes from the buyer / consignee, and he’s able to trace the owner.

5.       Airline Rejection: Some items, including cosmetics, Battery related items, Liquids, some perfumes MAY be rejected (though not always), as there are instances that we deliver these items without any problems.

NOTE: Packages for events like marriage, and related events are not advised to subscribe for cargo consolidation at injury time.
