What's the difference between forwarding and consolidation?
They often mean the same thing. However, "consolidation" specifically emphasizes combining multiple packages into one shipment to save costs, while "forwarding" refers to the entire process of receiving and shipping your packages internationally. Most forwarding companies offer consolidation services.
How much does shipping typically cost?
It depends on weight, volume, and shipping method (sea/air). Sea freight is cheapest, potentially $2-$3/kg (with minimum requirements); air/express is typically $8-$15/kg or more. Check your forwarder's website for accurate pricing calculators.
