LCL costs more than FCL per unit of freight. That's because freight agents prefer a full container load as it is easier than bundling many LCL shipments in a single full container. When an FCL shipment arrives at the port, it is unloaded from the vessel and delivered to the buyer without hindrances since it destined to one place/one consignee which is not the case for LCL shipments. The documentation and formalities are significantly higher for LCL shipments. Hence, most businesses
who need to transport cargo which is not enough to accommodate a full container, opt for the services of an expert LCL consolidator.
