Shipping multiple orders overseas at once in one package, to be split up? Is it possible?
Post Body

I've got roughly 30 orders shipping from the US to the UK & the main advice I've seen for bringing costs down is bulk shipping. However, most of the resources I've found are for things like board games, where they're being shipped on pallets. 40 of my items would fit in about 2 shoe boxes (packaging included).

Are there any services that would allow me to do the following?

  • Place ~30 individually addressed padded envelopes in a box.
  • Ship that one box to the UK.
  • Once it arrives, the box would be opened & the individual envelopes would be sent to their respective customers.

As of now, if I were to ship each of these ~2 ounce envelopes individually, I'm looking at about $600 in shipping costs. Surely there's a better way? (If there is, please let me know!) I figured it has to be cheaper to ship them domestically in-country if I could get them all there at once.
