Less Container Load
Less than Container Load (LCL) is a shipping method where multiple customers' goods are consolidated into a single container, rather than each customer having a separate container for their shipment. In this case, the customer only pays for the space they use in the container, rather than paying for an entire container even if it is not completely filled with their goods. This method of shipping is typically more cost-effective for smaller shipments, as the cost of the container is shared among multiple customers.
