Aliexpress help – multiple free shipping items from same seller
Ahura Mazda:
Hi guys,
This maybe a silly question, but I want to buy a bunch of electronic components from Aliexpress (same seller) ranging from a couple of breadboards, a few bags of 100 pieces of caps and diodes to dozens of ICs. The final price is around 35$ and all the items are marked "free shipping". So, final price is just that, no additional fees.
Now, I am worried about the price since I'm sure it weights a bit more than usual, I don't know what to expect, nor do I know where to find that info. My thinking is, airline or postal service in china are probably going to charge additional fee or something and the seller should notify me of that? Also, all the items which are higher than 5$ don't have free shipment, and the shipment price for those is 30$.
It's cainiao super economy shipping method, if it means anything.
Has anyone come across this situation – multiple (quite a lot) free shipping items? Any response would be appreciated. Thank you.
edit: Additional info on price.

Yes.
Although I can not comment on your shop, so far after many transactions similar to yours at many other shops at Aliexpress with free shipping never had problem.
Ahura Mazda:
Thanks for responding. That's good to hear. I've messaged the seller just to make sure, and then I'll make the purchase. Like, every item more than 5$ costs 30$ in shipping which would mean 35$ + 30$ which is a big no.

Most of the time they just send them all as separate items in separate packages.
But sometimes the seller will combine them all in one box if it's easier or cheaper for them.
Keep in mind that in china the government subsidized shipping. So the seller doesn't care, they just package them up however they need to so it's free. (or almost free).
Sometimes if you buy like 2000 of one item they will ship it as 4 separate packages of 500 to keep the weight correct so it's free.
etc..
It can be a bit confusing if one package arrives before the others do and you think they sent you less than you ordered.
I wouldn't worry about it.
Ahura Mazda:
That's even gooder to hear. Did not know that.
So I could expect some flexibility from the seller. That's great to hear. I don't mind multiple packages if the case.
Thanks for the reply.
