One Trip, Not Ten: Inbound Package Consolidation

Ever wonder why your AliExpress packages arrive lightning-fast from China, but you still make multiple trips a week to the pickup box? This episode explores the missing piece of modern logistics: inbound consolidation. We break down why Cainiao’s outbound consolidation works so well, why the same logic stops at your doorstep, and what it would actually take to batch your thirty small parcels into one pallet pickup. From the economics of handling fees to carrier network constraints, we examine whether a "hold and batch" service for prosumer importers is viable — and what already exists that comes close.
