What is LCL Shipping (Less than Container Load)?

LCL shipping (Less than Container Load) is a freight method where your cargo shares space in a shipping container with other shipments. It’s ideal for businesses that don’t have enough goods to fill an entire container but still need cost-effective international transport. At Aver Logistics, we offer reliable LCL services from the UK to global ports.

How LCL Shipping Works

LCL allows you to ship smaller volumes without paying for a full container. Your goods are consolidated with others, handled by freight specialists, and then shipped to the destination port.

Process Overview:

Goods are collected from your warehouse
Pallets or boxes are consolidated at a UK freight station
Shipped via sea in a shared container
Deconsolidated at the destination and delivered to the final address

Benefits of LCL Shipping

Lower Costs: Only pay for the space you use
Flexible Schedules: Weekly sailing options
Scalable: Ideal for growing businesses testing international markets
Full Tracking: End-to-end visibility from pickup to final delivery
