  1. LCL VS FCL SHIPMENT www.hockcheong.com.my

  2. WHICH SHIPMENT TYPE SHOULD YOUR BUSINESS CONSIDER? Whether you’re a retailer or a manufacturing company, the shipping terms used in logistic services would have stumbled you at least once or twice. Well, if you’re reading this, you’re probably contemplating between opting for LCL shipment or FCL, wondering what exactly is their difference. In this article, we explain to you the key distinctions between both shipment types, as well as their pros and cons.

  3. WHAT IS FCL SHIPMENT? FCL stands for Full Container Load. Shipping by FCL means paying for an entire container of any size and loading it with your own cargo for shipment. This mode of shipping is typically employed by large importers importing a huge amount of goods at once because paying for a full container to ship their cargo would make a lot more sense.

  4. BENEFITS OF SHIPPING FCL Shipping via FCL means that the container only holds your cargo, this means that your goods are less likely to be handled by others, lowering the risk of damage. As the goods in a container shipped via FCL belong to a single company, this results in faster delivery and smoother custom clearance.

  5. DRAWBACKS OF SHIPPING FCL Having to pay a flat rate for FCL shipment means higher shipping and operating costs. As standard container sizes start from 20ft, FCL shipment is not suitable for importers and exporters with lesser cargo.

  6. WHAT IS LCL SHIPMENT? LCL stands for Less than Container Load. It is an alternative shipping method available to companies that do not have enough products to fill up an entire container. Smaller importers and exporters can choose to pay for a container space and have their goods consolidated with other importers’ LCL shipments to fill up one container.

  7. BENEFITS OF SHIPPING LCL Shipping via LCL allows you more flexibility in arranging for transport services, delivery and shipping appointments. Shipping fewer goods via LCL also means spending less on inventory space and less on shipping costs because you’ll only be paying for the space you take up, per cubic meter, rather than a flat rate like FCL shipment. Instead of waiting for large orders, customers can opt for LCL shipment and do not have to wait to combine orders in order to fit into a full container.

  8. DRAWBACKS OF SHIPPING LCL As LCL shipments need to be loaded and unloaded from containers at both locations, they are handled by more people, increasing the chances of damage. LCL shipments go through many more processes compared to FCL, which adds a few days to the journey.
