can we collect multiple orders in to one cargo package?
One of our customer gave us 10 different order for same item. Can we make a one package shipment with 10 items in it?

Hi @Seller_ii8V37TY0sipl
Christine here from Amazon Forums
I just came across your post.
Yes, it is generally possible to consolidate multiple orders for the same item into a single shipment, even if they came from separate Amazon orders. This process is called order consolidation.
However, there are a few important points to consider:
- Timing: All orders should be placed within a short timeframe to be eligible for consolidation.
- Amazon's system: The consolidation may happen automatically if Amazon's system recognizes the opportunity to combine orders.
- Fulfillment center: The orders need to be processed by the same fulfillment center for consolidation to occur.
- Customer's preferences: Some customers may have specific delivery instructions or timing preferences that could affect consolidation.
- Prime vs. non-Prime orders: Consolidation might be more challenging if mixing Prime and non-Prime orders.
- Seller fulfillment: If you're a third-party seller fulfilling orders yourself, you have more control over consolidating shipments.
To ensure consolidation:
Please contact Amazon Seller Support to request order consolidation.
Remember that while consolidation can save on shipping costs and packaging, it may sometimes affect delivery speed for some of the items. It's important to balance efficiency with meeting customer expectations.
Hope you have a great weekend!
