LCL and FCL are both great shipping modes – and the better choice depends on your cargo and needs. Less-than-Container Load is great for smaller shipments, but sometimes, it is worth paying for Full Container Load, even if you don’t have enough cargo to fill it. So, once a shipment reaches a certain size, an entire container could be a better option since for a slightly higher price, you will get the benefits of shipping FCL, such as faster transit time.
