CONSIDERATIONS FOR LCL FREIGHT SHIPPING
LCL ocean freight will probably suit your needs if you’re shipping a small consignment—one that will not take up more than about half the space of a 20-foot container. You can also use LCL shipping with a larger load if your forwarder can consolidate into a 40-foot unit. However, it would make sense to weigh up the costs as compared with a full, 20-foot container load. You may find it cheaper, for instance, to send the bulk of your goods as a 20-foot FCL, with the remainder as an LCL.
Before you settle on a decision to use LCL shipping, it will pay to consider the following questions:
Are your products suitable for transit in a container with other shippers’ freight?
Are you able to live with the possibility of slightly longer transit times?
Will your cargo stand up to the amount of handling involved in LCL shipping?
Is your schedule flexible? LCL arrival times can change without warning.
