LoongBuy: How to Request Partial Shipments for Large Orders
Large orders often mean longer processing times. What if you need some items urgently while others are still being sourced? LoongBuy's partial shipment service is the solution. This guide explains how to split your delivery, calculate costs, and manage multiple tracking numbers efficiently.
What Are Partial Shipments?
Partial shipment, or split delivery, allows you to divide a single large order into multiple smaller shipments. You can receive available items first while the remaining products are being prepared or shipped later. This is ideal for time-sensitive purchases or when dealing with suppliers with different stock timelines.

Calculating Additional Costs for Split Deliveries
Splitting one shipment into multiple typically increases total shipping costs. Here’s why and how to estimate:
| Cost Factor | Description | Estimation Tip |
|---|---|---|
| Base Shipping Fee | Most couriers charge a base fee per parcel, regardless of weight. | One large parcel pays one base fee. Two parcels pay two base fees. |
| Weight Tier Pricing | Shipping rates often decrease per kg for heavier single parcels. | Splitting weight across parcels may move each into a less favorable (higher per kg) price tier. |
| Package Consolidation | LoongBuy may charge a small fee for processing multiple separate shipments. | Check with your agent for the current service fee schedule. |
Recommendation:comparative quote—the cost for one full shipment vs. the estimated total for your requested partial shipments. This helps you make a cost-effective decision.
