Storage, renewals and consolidating orders
One of OrientDig's most practical features is how it handles storage. For W2C buyers who like to build a haul over several weeks, a generous free-storage window plus a cheap renewal makes consolidating multiple orders into one shipment simple and low-stress. Here is how it works and how to use it well.
90 days of free storage
Every item OrientDig buys for you can sit in its warehouse free for 90 days. That is enough time to place several separate orders, wait for slower sellers, or hold off shipping until you have collected everything you want. There is no pressure to ship a single pair of shoes the moment it arrives.
Cheap renewals after the free window
If you need longer, storage is renewable at 10 RMB per 30 days. That low cost is deliberate: it lets patient buyers keep items warehoused while they wait for a payday, a sale, or the last piece of an outfit, without a painful daily fee. Submitted packages that have not yet paid shipping also get 30 days free, giving you breathing room to finalise a shipment.
Why consolidation saves money
International shipping is priced mainly by weight and volume, and every separate parcel repeats fixed costs - including OrientDig's roughly $1.18 customs declaration charge per order. Combining five items into one box almost always beats shipping five boxes. The free-storage window is what makes this practical: you can wait for everything to arrive at the warehouse, then send it together.

Things to watch
Keep an eye on the calendar so items do not quietly pass the free window, and remember that bulky or heavy pieces can push a consolidated parcel into a higher shipping bracket - sometimes two smaller parcels are cheaper. Storage terms and renewal fees can change, so verify the current policy on the official site. If you need inspiration for what to add to a haul, a quick search
