What is LCL shipment?

Is your shipment insufficient to occupy an entire container? LCL shipping provides the opportunity to share a container that is consolidated with other goods. This ensures that your smaller shipment can be dispatched promptly when required.

Less-than-Container Load facilitates the use of palletized boxes, crates, or small package boxes, ensuring timely delivery of your cargo. It allows you to adapt to varying demand and secure shipping options even during peak times.

Why choose LCL shipping?

LCL shipping offers significant flexibility and responsiveness to fluctuating demands, particularly beneficial for those who frequently transport small shipments. This method allows you to send your small boxes and pallets according to your requirements, rather than waiting to accumulate enough cargo to fill an entire container.

Opting for LCL means you are charged solely for the space your cargo occupies within the container. This approach enables you to share both the space and the associated costs with other shippers. It is a more economical alternative to air freight, facilitating the shipment of smaller quantities more regularly while reducing expenses related to inventory and warehousing.
