Is it cheaper to ship LCL or FCL?
The price you will pay for either LCL or FCL shipping depends entirely on your cargo. If you want to ship small boxes or palletized cargo, then it is likely cheaper for you to choose LCL shipping. However, if your goods take up most of a container’s space, then it is more cost-effective for you to choose FCL.
