LCL Shipping Questions Answered
Clear answers to common questions about shipping less than container load cargo from China.
What is LCL shipping from China?
LCL (Less than Container Load) shipping lets you move cargo that doesn't fill an entire container. TENCO consolidates your goods with other shipments at a Container Freight Station (CFS) in China, then ships them together in a shared container — reducing cost compared to booking a full container (FCL).
How is LCL freight cost calculated?
LCL rates are typically calculated per cubic meter (CBM) or per metric ton (W/M — weight or measurement, whichever is greater). TENCO provides all-inclusive quotes with no hidden fees.
LCL vs FCL: Which One Should You Choose?
Choose LCL when your shipment is roughly under 15 CBM or when you ship from multiple suppliers and want to share container costs. Choose FCL when your volume consistently fills most or all of a container. TENCO offers both services and can recommend the best option based on your volume, frequency, and destination.
How does TENCO manage China LCL consolidation services?
