Less-than-Container Load (LCL) Shipping

Ship boxes and pallets as per your need.

What is LCL shipment?

Is your shipment too small to fill up a whole container? LCL shipping allows you to share a container which is consolidated with other cargo. This allows you to ensure your small shipment can be on the move when you need it.

Less-than-Container Load enables the use of palletized boxes and crates or small package boxes to ensure on-time shipment of your cargo. It helps you accommodate fluctuating demand and find shipping availability even during busy periods.

Why choose LCL shipping?

LCL shipping gives you flexibility and the ability to react to ever-changing demands, especially if you need to move small shipments often. With LCL you can ship your small boxes and pallets per your needs instead of waiting to fill a full container with your cargo.

Cost Effective
Pay only for the space your cargo occupies. Share container space and costs with other shippers, making it cheaper than air freight.
Flexible Frequency
Ship smaller quantities more frequently, reducing inventory costs and warehousing space requirements while maintaining supply chain flexibility.
Quick Response
React to changing market demands quickly without waiting to fill an entire container, perfect for testing new markets or seasonal demands.

What is the difference between LCL and FCL?

There are two main shipping modes when choosing how to ship your cargo via ocean – Less-than-Container-Load (LCL) and Full Container Load (FCL) shipping.

FCL (Full Container Load)
With FCL shipping, you pay for the whole container, and there will only be one shipper. Little handling since your FCL shipment does not need to be de-consolidated and will be sealed right after loading.
LCL (Less-than-Container Load)
LCL shipping lets you share a container with other shippers and consolidate a container that wouldn't be full otherwise. Flexible delivery based on your actual needs, even the smallest cargo can have a big impact.

When to use LCL?

If you want to ship small boxes or pallets that fit into 20 feet or 40 feet containers, and do not have enough cargo to fill up a whole container, LCL shipping is the right solution for you.
