Group of our expert professional team ensures the perfect planning and execution of LCL consolidation supported by our experienced operation team that handles the movement of LCL cargoes, stacking, loading and unloading, in and out of warehouse, container stuffing and destuffing, carefully securing the passage and smooth transportation.
LCL consolidation allows you to combine your cargo with that of other shippers and consignees into a larger groupage. Your cargo is then tendered to the carrier as a single large movement, rather than numerous small shipments. This allows for several benefits, such as the economics of larger scale shipments.
(please check container specification details on our website for more details).
Since we are in constant communication with air and ocean carriers, we collect information on all inbound and outbound shipments, allowing us to keep our clients and business partners informed of any changes in shipment status. This means better control and reduction in auxiliary charges and extra costs. Since we have regularly scheduled consolidations, smaller shippers or consignees can enjoy the regularly scheduled service that larger importers and exporters enjoy.
We make all arrangements for combining of goods at origin, and separation of cargo at destination. This means that you can enjoy the economic benefits of consolidated shipment, without the concerns of separating your merchandise at destination.

LCL shipping means a process where the exporters mutually share the container space when the package size is significantly less than the maximum load a container can carry. It is a win-win situation, both for the shipping company as well as the exporters. The shipping company recovers the cost of the container while sharing the box makes transportation inexpensive for the exporters.
Not only is this a great way to save up on transport costs, but it also makes for a much more eco-friendly, responsible, and sustainable global shipping practices.
Trivia: Another name for LCL shipments is "groupage shipments"- as they are formed by grouping smaller, individual packages together.
Once you opt for an LCL shipment you opt for a door to door service, the procedure is quite simple and effective. Here is a step by step guide to get your goods shipped to your customers through LCL shipping.
Since shipment companies play a pivotal role in getting your product delivered flawlessly to your customers, choosing the right shipping partner is an extremely crucial part of the process.
Once you contact the shipping company for your transportation needs, they will enquire about all the details of your shipment. You’ll have to provide them with information about the delivery location, dimensions of your consignment as well as the time at which they can collect the product from you. They process all of this information and ascertain what other packages can your shipment be grouped with, and the ship that can be assigned to deliver your cargo.
Once your package reaches the shipping company's warehouse, preferably near a port. It is clubbed with other smaller packages which are to be delivered along the same trade route and then moved into a shipping container. This process is often known as 'Container Stuffing'. This container is then lifted off and put on a ship, which sets sail to deliver the goods to the desired location.
Once the ship arrives at its destination, the container is taken off and transported into a warehouse for segregation purposes. Once the ungrouping is completed, the shipping company delivers the products to your customers at their doorsteps.
Since the shipping process consists of multiple stages, each stage contributes a fair bit to the overall LCL shipping cost. Contrary to popular opinion, the actual shipping of the cargo incurs lesser cost than the grouping and ungrouping of the packages at the warehouses. This is because there is a fair bit of manpower and infrastructure involved in the process.
LCL shipping charges are generally computed based on the dimensions of the package i.e. the length, width. The standard unit for LCL shipping charges is USD per CBM (cubic meters). However, if the weight of the package exceeds 1000 kgs (1 ton), then the costs are levied based on the weight. The chances of this happening with LCL packages are rare since LCL shipping is recommended for smaller load size.
