🌍 Why Shipping Costs Matter for Every K-pop Group Order Manager (GOM)

If you're a GOM handling K-pop album or merch group orders, you already know this:
Shipping costs can destroy your profit margins.

International shipping via EMS, DHL, or FedEx increases exponentially based on weight and box dimensions. Worse, if you ship items separately, you end up paying much more per item — especially for albums and photocards.

That¡¯s where consolidated shipping becomes a game changer.


✅ What Is Consolidated Shipping?

Consolidated shipping combines multiple orders into one well-packed box, reducing international shipping fees.

Example:

  • Shipping 1 photocard internationally: ~$7.50

  • Shipping 10 photocards in one consolidated package: ~$2.20 each
    ¡æ Over 65% savings


🚀 Real Case Study: How ¡°Luna¡± in the U.S. Saved $1,200 on Shipping

Meet Luna, a GOM based in Los Angeles. She organized a group order for BTS albums involving 50 fans. Each fan ordered 2–3 albums, totaling 120 units.

🔍 Initial Challenges:

  • Estimated shipping cost (individual packages): $15 ¡¿ 120 = $1,800

  • Slow processing due to separate packaging and tracking

  • Increased risk of packing mistakes and missing items
