LCL freight is a good option if you're transporting small volumes of cargo like boxes and pallets. And you only pay for the space your cargo takes up in the container - you share the space and the costs with others.
We offer competitive sea freight from China to anywhere you want. Depending on the size and gross weight of the package, instructions are given on the use of 20 feet or 40 feet and instructions on how to efficiently load goods into containers to save space and money.

Q: What Is LCL Shipping?
A: LCL stands for less-than-container load, so LCL shipping is the process of shipping a load that takes up less volume than one single ocean container. This load is then consolidated into a "shared" container, with other Less Than Container Loads.
Q: When Is LCL the Best Option?
A: LCL shipping is the best option for you in the following cases:
●If you are shipping a relatively small consignment, because LCL rates are based on weight and volume – As a general rule of thumb (and this is highly dependent on the origin/destination since the origin and destination charges can vary considerably), if your shipment is under 13 cubic meters (cbm), you'll be better off shipping it as LCL.
●If you are seeking to make a last-minute shipment – You will often find available space to be filled with a consolidator when a shipment is due for departure, and this can save you money.
●If you have a cargo overspill – In this case, sending part of your consignment FCL, and the remaining cargo LCL, may be the least expensive option.
●If you do not need an urgent delivery – If you are booking in advance and there is no urgency, LCL may be the best bet.
