What's the difference between FCL and LCL? Which ocean shipping service is right for me?

Ocean freight shipping presents a reliable means of large-volume transportation, with options designed to accommodate varying cargo sizes. Two of these include FCL and LCL shipping.

For FCL shipments, all goods in a container are owned by one party, while LCL involves multiple shippers' goods packed together.

Business needs and inventory requirements determine a company's shipping decision, along with factors like cost and commodity type. For instance, LCL allows you to maintain a smaller, more adaptable product inventory, while FCL is ideal for bulk items and large-volume products.
