Why pay for shipping 5 times?
Turkey is the new “mall of the world.” Whether you’re browsing the latest fashion trends on Trendyol, sourcing car parts from Istanbul’s industrial zone, or picking home accessories and decor, Turkish quality is unmatched.
But the biggest obstacle for shoppers and small traders remains the cost of international shipping. When you buy a shirt from one store, a part from a supplier, and a gift from another site, and ship each order separately, you end up paying the “minimum shipping fee” multiple times—sometimes more than the cost of the products themselves!
The solution?
Package Consolidation.
In this guide, we explain how Turk Marsal gives you a Turkish address to collect all your purchases, and how we turn 5 separate shipments into one box—so you pay one shipping bill and save up to 80%.
1. What Is Package Consolidation and How Does It Work? 🤔
Simply put, we give you a real virtual address in our Istanbul warehouse, along with a private Suite ID.
This service isn’t just for online shopping—it also covers suppliers and factories. Here’s how it works in 4 easy steps:
- Register and Get Your Address: Create a free account on our website and get your Turkish address instantly (or contact us via WhatsApp).
- Shop Freely:
- Online: Use the address when shopping on sites like Trendyol, Zara, Hepsiburada.
- From suppliers: Give the address to the factory or workshop—have them ship directly to us.
- We Receive and Store: We receive your shipments, inspect them visually, photograph them for you, and store them in your private box.
- Request Consolidation: With one click, we combine all your purchases into a single package and ship it to your doorstep.
2. The Numbers Don’t Lie: How You Save 80% 💸
Global shipping companies charge a high “base rate” for the first 0.5 kg, then a lower rate for additional weight. Consolidation means you pay that base rate only once.
Let’s do the math (real example):
You ordered from 4 different sources:
- Shirt from Zara (0.5 kg)
- Shoes from Flo (1 kg)
- Car accessories from N11 (0.5 kg)
- Dress from Modanisa (0.5 kg)
❌ Without consolidation (separate shipments):
- Shipment 1: $20
- Shipment 2: $25
- Shipment 3: $20
- Shipment 4: $20
- Total = $85 😱
✅ With Turk Marsal (consolidated shipment):
- Total weight: 2.5 kg
- First 0.5 kg = $20
- Additional 2 kg = $10 (discounted rate)
- Total = $30 only! 😍
- Savings = $55 (you saved 65–80%—money you can spend on more shopping!)
3. Exclusive Services (More Than Just a Mailbox) 🌟
We offer a full logistics solution, not just a delivery address:
1. Supplier Pick-up Service 🚚
Buying from a workshop in Laleli or Merter and the seller doesn’t deliver? We handle it.
Turk Marsal offers pick-up from suppliers or stores in most Turkish cities. Send us the address—we’ll send a courier to collect your goods and deposit them in your box (free in selected areas in Istanbul).
2. Smart Repackaging 📦
Stores often send products in oversized boxes filled with air. You pay to ship that “air.”
We open the original boxes, remove unnecessary packaging (like shoe boxes), and repack the items to minimize volumetric weight.
3. Buy For Me Service 🛍️
Some Turkish websites don’t accept foreign credit cards or are Turkish-only. No problem—send us the product link, and we’ll purchase on your behalf, pay for it, and add it to your box for a small commission.
4. Full Customs Clearance 📑
No need to deal with customs on your own.
We offer customs clearance services in most GCC countries (Saudi Arabia, UAE, Qatar). Whether it’s a personal or commercial shipment, we coordinate with brokers to deliver it door-to-door—stress-free.
5. Free Storage and Product Photos 📸
- 30 Days of Storage: Shop at your own pace all month and consolidate later.
- Free Photos: We send you pictures of your shipments once received—so you can confirm the color, size, and product before shipping internationally.
