FULL CONTAINER LOAD (FCL)

FCL is well-suited for high volume, as the container will be fully loaded, with at least 30m3. Obviously, the price is much higher than LCL, but you will gain greater control over the location and the date at which the container is loaded and shipped.

You won’t pay the exact same price from one shipper to another. The value of the items you ship will be used to calculate taxes rates. Some items are not subject to taxes, as it is the case for personal effects.

As most of shipping companies are used to share shipping vessels, shipping times are expected to be around four to eight weeks. Finding someone who can bring your container shipment to Thailand in less than 4 weeks will be a real struggle, or even impossible.

Docshipper guarantees weekly schedule departures to major ports worldwide. We offer two types of full containers:

  • 20 feet container containing 33 cubic meters

  • 40 feet container with a capacity of 66 cubic meters

  • 40 feet container HQ with a capacity of 76 cubic meters.

LESS THAN A CONTAINER: CONSOLIDATION (LCL)

*Basically, LCL means you are booking some space in the container, per m3.

This option is cheaper, as you don’t have to pay for the whole space of the container. This is well-suited for items that are at the same time too big for standard international shipping, and too small to load a full container.

LCL vs. FCL: is it necessarily cheaper to use LCL?

*The answer is no. It depends on the volume and the destination of the shipment. LCL is supposed to cheaper, because you only pay for the space you require.

Theoretically yes, but for instance if the total volume exceeds 15m3, then you should consider FCL.

Freight rates will be less expensive using LCL, but fixed charges are such that the total price would end up being higher than a FCL.
