Less-than-Container Load (LCL) Shipping

Ship small boxes and pallets as per your need.

What is LCL shipment?

Is your shipment too small for a full container? LCL (Less-than-Container Load) shipping lets you share a consolidated container with other goods, ensuring your shipment moves on schedule.

LCL shipping accommodates palletized boxes, crates, and small packages, making it ideal for handling fluctuating demand and securing shipping availability during busy periods. Plus, you only pay for the space you use, offering flexibility, peace of mind, and cost savings.

When to use LCL?

LCL shipping is the perfect solution if your cargo is stackable, non-dangerous, and too small for a full container. Ideal for shipping small boxes or pallets that fit into 20-foot or 40-foot containers, LCL is well-suited for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) without enough cargo to fill a full container, as well as large and medium enterprises (LMEs) dealing with varying demands or exploring new markets.

Industries such as fashion, lifestyle, automotive, technology, and FMCG, particularly within e-commerce, can benefit significantly from LCL shipping, especially for hassle-free and prompt door-to-door deliveries.

You can choose between ocean or air freight for your LCL shipment. For tight deadlines and faster delivery, consider shipping via air.

How much does LCL shipping cost?

The cost of LCL shipping depends on several factors, primarily the volume and weight of your cargo. Volume is measured in cubic meters (CBM) and weight in kilograms. At Beksta Logistics, the maximum weight for a single package is 3,000 kg and 29 CBM, with a booking limit of 20,000 kg and 60 CBM.

Your shipping route, including origin and destination, also impacts the cost, as different countries, ports, and freight stations have varying rates. Additionally, various fees may be applied to cover manpower and infrastructure throughout the LCL shipping process.
