Tvoi AgentFreight Consolidation in Italy
Buying from five factories? Get one shipment, one packing list and one customs declaration.
An order in Prato rarely comes from a single supplier: fabric from one mill, knitwear from another, trims from a third. If each ships its part separately, you pay for several freight bills and several customs clearances, and the boxes arrive at different times. We receive every delivery at the consolidation warehouse, check it against your order, inspect it and repack it for the chosen transport. The shipment leaves once the whole lot is in, with one packing list covering every box.
What consolidation includes
Receiving and checking
We count boxes and items and match style numbers, sizes and colours against your order.
Inspection on arrival
We open boxes at random and check quality, so defects go back to the factory instead of on to you.
Repacking
We reinforce cartons, combine small boxes and palletise for air, sea or road when needed.
Carton marking
We number the boxes and add the consignee's address and details, so everything is easy to find at destination.
Packing list
For each package: contents, quantity, gross and net weight, dimensions. The basis for the invoice and customs.
Storage until dispatch
We hold the goods until every supplier is ready. Storage terms are agreed in advance based on volume and duration.
Why it pays off
One freight bill
A consolidated shipment usually costs less than several separate shipments from each factory.
One clearance
One set of documents and one declaration in the destination country instead of several.
Control in one place
Everything is checked before dispatch, so shortages and mix-ups show up while the goods are still in Italy.
Close to the factories
10+ years in Prato and Florence means we know how to collect goods from suppliers quickly.
FAQ
How many suppliers can be consolidated?
There's no limit on the number of factories. Consolidation makes sense from two or three suppliers, and the savings grow with larger purchases.
Can I add goods I bought myself?
Yes. If you've already ordered directly, the supplier can send the goods to consolidation and we'll include them in the shared shipment and packing list.
How long can goods wait at the warehouse?
As long as it takes to complete the lot. We agree storage time and cost in advance, so there are no surprises at the end.
What if one factory ships late?
We tell you straight away and suggest options: wait, ship the ready part, or send the rest with the next shipment.
