FreightNex Global Logistics provides both less-than-container load (LCL) and full container load (FCL) for the convenience of our customers. Less that container load is an ocean freight transportation option that businesses may choose when they don’t have a large enough shipment to fill an entire shipping container. Rather than pay for an entire container with unused space, shippers can consolidate goods with other consignees to maximize space and reduce costs.
If you have LCL cargo, let FreightNex Global Logistics handle the move. With our years of experience in freight forwarding and our strong relationships with all major shipping lines, we are able to offer fast and cost-effective shipping. Never worry about missed deadlines with our ocean freight services: we’ll get your cargo to its destination on time.
Benefits of LCL Shipping Include:
In the past, many shippers have shied away from LCL transport due to its perceived cost and variable delivery dates. However, demand for LCL has increased in recent years, as services have improved overall and businesses have discovered the benefits of transporting certain goods this way.
The most obvious reason for choosing LCL is because a shipment does not have enough volume to fill a standard container, but there are many other factors that may lead a business to choose this shipping method. Some of the top benefits of Global Shipping’s LCL services include:
- Lower Cost than Air Freight: For smaller loads, LCL is much more cost-effective than air freight and can still work with relatively tight deadlines. At FreightNex Global Logistics, we work with our freight forwarding network to negotiate highly competitive pricing for your LCL needs.
- Greater Flexibility to Meet Market Demands: LCL allows smaller businesses to transport the supply they need to meet consumers’ demands, rather than shipping a larger quantity of inventory that may significantly exceed demand. Businesses can also change their product mix to meet shifting demands without wasting inventory.
- Frequent Shipping: When demand is high for a particular product, businesses may not have time to lose gathering a large enough stockpile to make up a full container load. With LCL, it’s possible to ship goods quickly to respond to demand. In fact, Global Shipping is able to offer weekly ocean freight transportation upon request.
- Works with Just-In-Time Model: Businesses that rely on a just-in-time manufacturing model to reduce inventory and improve the flow of goods often choose LCL because it allows them to ship just the parts or goods they need at regular intervals.
