Full Container Load (FCL) Shipping

Use FCL from your sixth pallet or your goods should fill up at least half of the container. In some cases, it can be cheaper per unit to buy bulk goods.

Less than Container Load (LCL) Shipping
LCL works with small loads that are not enough to fill a container. You are not charged for extra space which makes it easy on your wallet.

Even though LCL shipments are a mix, they are still managed in an arranged and secure way. LCL tends to be a more affordable option than a whole container when use of shared space is okay.

Sentiments from China to Thailand usually come in two types: FCL or LCL. These options are also applied to transportation by rail for cargo.

FCL (Full Container Load)

The cargo does not go through several containers which offers less chance for damage.

FCL proves to be more affordable for numerous boxes or pallets.

LCL (Less-than-Container Load)

LCL is the right choice for small packages that can’t fill a whole container.

Since you are charged only for the allocated space, it becomes a cost-effective solution.

Several shipments are placed in one container as a group using this method.

LCL works well if your cargo does not need to be separated from goods around it.
