International delivery of consolidated cargo (LCL)
Types of transportation
Groupage delivery (LCL delivery) is a type of freight transportation that allows you to transport small batches of goods from different consignors in one collective container. It is worth using this service if the batch of goods is not large enough to fill an entire container, the rent of which is quite expensive. LCL transportation allows you to deliver goods on the most favorable terms.

Advantages of collective cargo transportation:
Significant cost savings during transportation. When sending cargo by LCL transportation, the customer pays only for the volume occupied by the cargo in the container, and not the full cost of transportation. This is much more profitable than transporting an empty container with FCL shipments, since all costs are shared among all customers.
Delivery of trial batches of goods with minimal costs.
Transportation of a trial batch of cargo using FCL transportation is economically impractical. And the delivery of collective cargo makes it possible to start a business with minimal material costs. Savings in customs clearance of cargo. After the goods arrive, the customs fees will be lower due to the small volume of the goods.
The possibility of transporting cargo of various dimensions. Freight transportation of prepackaged goods allows you to transport goods of large and small sizes, without worrying about the fact that they are significantly smaller than the volume of the container. You can transport cargo weighing from 100 kg to 10 tons, with a volume of up to 20 cubic meters. However, it is worth consulting with professionals first, because sometimes shipping up to 40 cubes in a collapsible container is much more profitable than in general.
Door-to-door delivery in optimal terms. With this type of delivery, the cargo is collected from the sender and transported to the “door” of the recipient.
