Less-than-Container Load (LCL) Shipping
Our Less-Than-container load Shipping method allows you to move your boxes and pallets as per your need
What is LCL shipment?
Is your shipment too small to fill an entire container? Smile Logistics’ LCL (Less-than-Container Load) service lets you share container space with other cargo, ensuring cost-efficient and timely delivery.
With options for palletized boxes, crates, or small packages, our LCL service ensures your shipment moves when you need it most. Perfect for managing fluctuating demand, Smile Logistics helps you secure shipping availability even during peak seasons.
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. Here, we have a simple comparison explaining the meaning of FCL and LCL.
- With FCL shipping, you pay for the whole container, and there will only be one shipper. This means there is also little handling since your FCL shipment does not need to be de-consolidated at the end of the journey and will be sealed right after loading.
- LCL shipping, on the contrary, lets you share a container with other shippers and thus consolidate a container that wouldn’t be full otherwise. Shipping boxes and pallets allows for a more flexible delivery based on your actual needs, as even the smallest cargo can have a big impact on your business.
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.
By choosing LCL, you only pay for the space your cargo is occupying in the container. You share the space with others as well as the costs. It is cheaper than air freight and it allows you to ship less goods more frequently while spending less money on inventorying and warehousing space.
