A direct answer first, then the detail that decides the outcome.
On small parcels, 30–50% of the freight bill. The reason is structural: every international shipment carries a minimum charge plus a per-parcel handling fee. Five parcels pay that minimum five times; one consolidated box pays it once. There is a second saving that does not show on the invoice: volumetric weight. When several parcels are merged, outer cartons come off and empty space disappears. A five-parcel consolidation often loses 15–25% of its volume, which is charged weight. The cost is time — you wait until everything has arrived. With 90 days of free storage, that wait costs nothing.
