How does LCL (less than container load) delivery work?
LCL delivery involves consolidating shipments from several clients into a single container, followed by distribution to the recipients. Euro Forwarding provides a full-cycle LCL delivery service: from receipt at the warehouse to the recipient’s doorstep.
How is the cost of LCL delivery calculated?
The cost is calculated based on the actual cubic metres or weight, whichever is greater. Paying only for the space occupied makes LCL a cost-effective option for small volumes.
Why is the delivery time for LCL usually longer than for FCL shipments?
The transit time is longer due to consolidation before dispatch and sorting upon arrival at the port. Additional handling of a consolidated container takes longer than with FCL.
How is cargo labelled and packed for safe transport within a consolidated container?
Each unit within a consolidated shipment is labelled and packed in accordance with safe maritime transport standards. Euro Forwarding carries out weighing and preparation of the cargo at the consolidation warehouse.
Is there a risk of my goods being damaged or lost due to being stored alongside other cargo?
The risk of damage is minimised thanks to professional packing and correct stowage within the container. In addition, Euro Forwarding offers cargo insurance for the entire duration of the journey.
Which goods are strictly prohibited from being transported as part of less-than-container load (LCL) shipments?
Explosive, illegal and hazardous substances that are incompatible with consolidated cargo in a shared container are prohibited. Other ADR categories are agreed on a case-by-case basis with Euro Forwarding managers.
