In which situations do I choose an LCL container?
When you want to save money and don’t need a full container, it is often a good idea to pick a shared container. You choose a LCL (Less Than Container Load) contract.

There are multiple advantages: you’re only charged for the space you are using, you spend less on inventory warehousing space and it is more flexible during peak-times. Remark: if you have a cargo load that is more than half a container unit, then you better go for FCL. The total shipping costs are related to the dimensions of the package i.e. the length, width.
