When do i need a Less than container Load (LCL)?
When you have too little goods to fill a full container, aks our freight forwarders to possibilities for a shared container. Logistics management organization handles this as a LCL (Less Than Container Load). The goal of LCL is that you pay per m3 or per metric ton for space inside a complete container. You consciously opt for various benefits such as: you pay only for the volume you need, reduces the costs of keeping a high inventory of goods stored and it offers consistent weekly sailing schedules for sea freight. Worth mentioning: once you have more than half a container worth of goods, then FCL is probably your best bet. The shipping costs are calculated on the basis of the dimensions of the package i.e. the length, width.
