EED offers consolidation service free of charge for all wholesale account loose parcel shipments. LTL and Will Call orders are excluded from consolidation. Consolidation entails, whenever possible, packing multiple manufacturer-sealed cartons picked for a single wholesale order inside EED shipping boxes. This minimizes the total quantity of boxes in the outgoing shipment and provides additional protection to the manufacturer cartons during transit. PLEASE NOTE: If shipping cost is your priority, we do not recommend consolidation for international loose parcel shipments. Also, consolidation is not always possible, even when specifically requested for an order; the dimensions of some manufacturer cartons preclude fitting more than one into even the largest EED shipping box. In these instances, if additional protection for items is your first priority, we offer double-boxing of single manufacturer cartons for an additional per box fee (though again, depending on the size of the manufacturer carton, we may be unable to double-box). Please ask your EED Sales Representative for more information
