b. $600
c. $400
d. $200

Respuesta :

$600  is the savings from consolidating orders into one shipment. Consolidating your packages can also save your delivery costs. Every parcel is subject to a flat fee that carriers charge.

You only have to pay the fees once when you combine your things into one box. Individual LCL shipments from different shippers are combined into a single full container shipment using the shipping process known as "consolidated shipping." Shippers who take part in consolidated shipping receive preferential costs. Faster transit times and shorter wait times for small loads are two benefits of freight consolidation. Your goods will be available for shipment as needed if your freight is kept at a consolidation facility.
