Shipping freight LCL Vs. Other modes of international cargo transportation

Shipping items from the USA with LCL freight is a cost-effective way to deliver relatively large goods from virtually any place in the United States to different countries in the world.

If you're shipping a relatively large cargo from the USA that is too small to fill an entire 40-foot sea freight container and too big to ship with a parcel service, LCL freight is what you need.

• Shipping sea freight is definitely cheaper than air freight.
• Shipping LCL, you can ship relatively large orders that cannot be shipped with parcel services.
• When shipping LCL, you do not pay for the whole 20—or 40-foot container but just for the space you use in it.

LCL freight best fits small and midsize businesses and e-commerce. Unlike airfreight or parcel services, you can ship sizable orders, sharply decreasing operational expenses on international cargo transportation.

On the other hand, LCL is the best substitution for shipping household goods and personal items from the USA to overseas destinations. If you pack your goods in regular cardboard boxes or crate them and ship LCL, you save a lot compared to sending them with an international moving company.

If you deal with large enough cargo and need to deliver the load from the USA abroad, you should always consider LCL freight.
