Freight package count changes after shipment consolidation

Consolidation can change package counts without changing shipment identity, so the rated count must match the contractual unit.

Records needed for this question

Original manifest, consolidation record and final shipping document.

How to investigate

Trace the packaging transformation and establish which count the rate uses.

An illustrative review decision

A consolidation operation can replace several cartons with one pallet for transport. Keep the original contents for traceability while using the contractual packaging unit to evaluate the carrier's charge.

What can lead to the wrong conclusion?

Comparing pre-consolidation cartons with post-consolidation pallets creates a false mismatch.

The result to retain

A packaging lineage record and supported rated count.
