Key takeaways

  • LCL shipping allows businesses to ship smaller quantities of goods worldwide at a lower cost by sharing container space.
  • Costs are based mainly on space (cubic meters) rather than weight and include pickup, loading/unloading, ocean freight, delivery, and paperwork fees.
  • LCL is ideal for smaller shipments and offers cost savings for businesses shipping less than a full container, while FCL is more suitable for larger volumes and faster delivery. Understanding these factors helps businesses optimize their shipping strategy.
