LCL vs. FCL - Which One Saves You More?
| Shipment Volume | Recommended Mode | Why? |
|---|---|---|
| < 15 CBM | LCL | Pay only for space used. No need for a full container. |
| 15-25 CBM | LCL or FCL (evaluate) | Sometimes LCL is still cheaper, but FCL may be safer for fragile goods. |
| > 25 CBM | FCL | Lower cost per unit and faster door-to-door. |
With our LCL consolidation, you avoid paying for unused space while still enjoying professional cargo handling.
