Shipping Policy: About LCL
Jun 27, 2023
LCL
- A way in which the owner consigns scattered or small quantities of goods and the carrier is responsible for packing them. After receiving the goods, the carrier classifies them according to their nature and destination, and assembles goods of the same destination and nature into the same container for transportation.
- LCL can be divided into direct consolidation or transfer consolidation. Direct consolidation means that the goods in the LCL container are loaded and unloaded at the same port, and the goods are not unpacked before they arrive at the destination port, that is, the goods are at the same unloading port. This kind of LCL service has a short delivery period and is convenient and fast. Generally, powerful LCL companies will provide this kind of service. Transshipment refers to the goods in the container that are not at the same destination port, and need to be unpacked and unloaded or transshipped midway. Due to factors such as different destination ports and long waiting times for this kind of goods, the shipping period is longer and the shipping cost is even higher.
