Less Container Load (LCL) shipping is quickly replacing other shipping methods as the solution of choice for companies seeking assistance in the intricate world of global logistics. LCL provides a solution to these rough waters, including transportation unpredictability, service provider consolidation, trade war complications, inconsistent visibility, and even a worldwide pandemic.
Less Container Load (LCL) shipping is fast becoming the service of choice for businesses looking for help in the complex global logistics industry. From shipping uncertainty, service provider consolidation, trade war complexities, inconsistent visibility, and even a global pandemic, LCL offers a solution to these choppy waters.
Demand for expedited LCL shipping has grown significantly as COVID-19 has impacted businesses around the world. This is especially true for shipments of personal protective equipment (PPE), which have surged in recent months.
LCL Shipping vs Full Container Load (FCL) or Air Shipping
1. Reduce costs
The most obvious cost savings for LCL shipping compared to air shipping. For organizations that can adjust for slightly longer shipping times, the right LCL strategy can save up to 75% of air market costs.
Since you only pay for the space you use, LCL can even reduce underutilized FCL shipments. LCL shipping can even help reduce warehousing and inventory costs by using goods in transit as "inventory in transit," which can help reduce tariff bills per shipment.
2. Reliable shipping time
Service providers who handle their own LCL containers can offer reliable fixed shifts and flexible shifts. This provides reliable ocean and port handling transit.
With the high level of reliability your LCL supplier provides, you can better plan origin production to load into your LCL schedule and take advantage of just-in-time delivery at destination to keep materials moving across production, assembly lines and store shelves.
3. Shipping options and flexibility
Expedited LCL shipping combined with tailor-made solutions gives you the necessary flexibility to meet transit times. For example, if there is a surge in demand for an in-transit product, it is easy to reroute shipping to speed up delivery. LCL routing and cost options are offered based on what is most important to your business - transit time, expenses or an optimized combination of the two.
