LCL (Less Than Container Load)

LCL is a method of shipping small quantities of goods that do not fill an entire container. Multiple shippers’ goods are consolidated in a single container. LCL is a cost-effective option for shipping small volumes of goods overseas.

Via Liftvan

If you choose LCL for shipping, household goods are packed in wooden boxes known as Liftvans or Vanpacks. These items are transported within a shipping container alongside other cargo, ensuring that the customer’s household goods are always kept separate.

Pallet Shipping

When shipping a small amount of cargo, pallet shipping is the most cost-effective method. Additionally, when we need to transport a large number of items at once, we will use pallets (which may also be called skids) to send them. Using pallets makes it easier to move, load, and unload the cargo.

The most common pallet size in the US is 48 inches by 40 inches (width x length), though many different sizes can be shipped.

Shipping Cars with Household Goods

When shipping a car in a container, other items can be left inside the car. If there is enough space, various household items can also be packed into the car. The cost of shipping a car overseas varies greatly depending on the destination, model and year of the car, and the customer’s visa status.
