International shipping is usually the largest line on a haul. Consolidation — combining multiple items into one parcel — is the simplest way to bring it down.
Why it works
Carriers price by chargeable weight (the greater of actual or volumetric weight). Shipping five small parcels separately pays the base handling five times; combining them pays it once.
