When to consider it

Compare FCL (dedicated container) and LCL (shared container) for larger planned shipments. For inland addresses, include the leg from port to warehouse.

What to check before dispatch

Compare local charges at both ports, LCL handling, storage terms and onward delivery. Confirm where the carrier’s responsibility ends.

Frequently asked questions

Is FCL worth comparing if the container will not be full?

Yes, especially when the cargo is sensitive to handling or takes up many pallet spaces. Compare against LCL with consolidation, deconsolidation, local charges and delivery to the same warehouse included.

What should I confirm if the warehouse unloads by appointment only?

Assign responsibility for booking the slot and confirm the vehicle and unloading setup. Check the date against any free storage and empty-container return terms that apply.
