For many Singapore shoppers, eBay US is a dream destination for products that are rare, affordable, or simply unavailable locally. From sneakers and fashion accessories to collectibles, gadgets, and beauty items, eBay’s selection is unmatched. But while prices may be attractive, the real challenge comes after checkout: shipping costs.
When you buy from multiple sellers, each parcel is typically shipped separately — and that can cause total costs to skyrocket. This is where Buy&Ship’s consolidation service changes the game. By grouping multiple eBay US orders into a single shipment, buyers in Singapore can dramatically cut costs while enjoying secure, trackable delivery.
This guide walks you through why consolidation matters, how Buy&Ship makes it easy, and how to maximize savings when buying across different eBay sellers.
Why eBay US Orders Add Up in Shipping
Unlike traditional retail sites, eBay is a marketplace of thousands of individual sellers. That means:
- Separate Shipping Costs – Buying three items from three sellers = three international shipping fees if shipped directly.
- Variable Shipping Policies – Some sellers won’t ship internationally at all. Others charge inflated courier rates.
- No Consolidation – eBay doesn’t bundle orders. Each package travels independently, often doubling or tripling your costs.
For Singapore buyers, this often means the shipping fee ends up higher than the product itself.
How Buy&Ship Solves the Problem
Buy&Ship’s proxy shopping and forwarding service gives you a US warehouse address, so all your eBay US orders first arrive at one location. From there, you can:
- Consolidate parcels – Combine multiple orders into a single box.
- Pay once for international shipping instead of multiple times.
- Track everything in one place with clear updates.
- Pay in SGD with no hidden exchange costs.
- Save more while enjoying safe, secure delivery to Singapore.
Step-by-Step: Combining Multiple eBay Orders
Step 1 – Create a Buy&Ship Account
Sign up on Buy&Ship Singapore and get your free US warehouse address.
Step 2 – Shop on eBay US
Browse and buy items from different sellers. At checkout, enter your Buy&Ship US address for each order.
Step 3 – Parcels Arrive at the US Warehouse
Each eBay order is delivered locally in the US to Buy&Ship’s facility.
Step 4 – Select Consolidation
Once all parcels have arrived, request consolidation in your Buy&Ship account. Multiple small boxes are repacked into one larger, secure package.
Step 5 – Pay in SGD
International shipping is calculated based on weight. With consolidation, you pay less than if items were shipped separately.
Step 6 – Receive Your Items at Home
Your combined shipment is delivered securely to your Singapore address, fully trackable.
Example: How Much You Can Save
A buyer in Singapore orders:
- A pair of Nike sneakers from one eBay seller
- A Coach wallet from another
- A LEGO set from a third seller
- Without consolidation: Each parcel ships separately, costing around SGD 180 total in international courier fees.
- With Buy&Ship consolidation: All three parcels are combined into one, costing SGD 95 total.
That’s nearly SGD 85 saved, plus the convenience of receiving everything in one delivery.
Tips for Maximizing Savings with Consolidation
- Plan Purchases Together – Buy multiple items within a short time frame so they arrive at the warehouse around the same time.
- Bundle Lightweight Items – Lipsticks, T-shirts, accessories, or trading cards add little weight but increase shipping savings.
- Use Repacking Services – For fragile items like glass bottles or collectibles, request extra packaging protection.
- Track Expiry Dates – Items can be stored at the warehouse for a limited period, so consolidate promptly.
- Add Buy&Ship Plus – For valuable orders like cameras, sneakers, or handbags, add insurance for peace of mind.
Why Not Use eBay’s Global Shipping Program?
eBay’s Global Shipping Program (GSP) might look convenient, but it has limitations:
- No Consolidation – Each item ships separately.
- Higher Costs – Fees include couriers and upfront duties.
- Restricted Sellers – Only works with sellers enrolled in the program.
- USD Billing Only – You’ll face bank exchange charges.
By contrast, Buy&Ship works with all US eBay sellers and gives Singapore buyers the tools to save money by consolidating shipments.
