Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between LCL and FCL shipping?
LCL (Less than Container Load) means your goods share container space with other shipments, making it cost-effective for smaller volumes. FCL (Full Container Load) provides an entire container exclusively for your cargo, offering enhanced security and direct transport.
How do I determine if I should use LCL or Truck Load services?
The choice depends on shipment size, destination, timeline, and budget. LCL is ideal for smaller international shipments, while Truck Load services are best for larger volumes or domestic transportation. Our logistics experts can help you determine the most suitable option for your specific needs.
What is the typical transit time for LCL shipments?
Transit times for LCL shipments vary depending on the origin, destination, and specific route. Typical ocean transit times range from 15-45 days for major international routes, plus additional time for consolidation, deconsolidation, and customs clearance.
Can you handle specialized cargo or hazardous materials?
Yes, we can transport specialized cargo and certain hazardous materials with proper documentation and packaging. Please inform us about any special requirements during the booking process so we can arrange appropriate handling and compliance with relevant regulations.
How do I track my LCL or Truck Load shipment?
We provide online tracking through our customer portal. You'll receive a tracking number and login details once your shipment is booked, allowing you to monitor its progress throughout the journey.
