Looking for a cheap China → India shipping/consolidation agent for a very small business 😭
Hi! 😭 I’m starting a very small anime/game merchandise business in India and I’m struggling to find affordable shipping from China.
I’ll be buying small quantities from 4–5 different Alibaba suppliers (plushies, acrylic keychains, acrylic standees, etc.).
I need a China warehouse/consolidation agent who can:
•receive parcels from multiple suppliers
•consolidate/repack them into one shipment
•ship them to Prayagraj, UP, India
•preferably handle customs and door delivery
My first shipment will probably be around 5 kg, and I’m completely okay with slower shipping if it's cheaper.
Most quotes I've received so far are around ₹2,000 kg for 1–5 kg, which is too expensive for my small business 😭.
Does anyone here use a reliable agent/consolidator who offers better rates for very small shipments?
I’d really appreciate actual experiences/recommendations rather than random DMs from unverified agents. 🙏🏻
