    Multi-Supplier LCL Export to San Juan

    What Is LCL?

    LCL means less than container load. You share a shipping container with other people. You only pay for the space your cargo uses. This is good if you do not have enough goods for a whole container. LCL gives you more choices when shipping to Puerto Rico. You can send boxes or crates in different sizes. Freight forwarders use the size of your cargo to set the price, not the weight. LCL is a smart way to save money on small or odd-shaped shipments. You do not have to wait to fill a whole container. Your forwarder puts all the shipments together, so you can focus on your work.

    Tip: LCL shipping helps you spend less on moving and storing goods. You can ship more often and keep your stock moving.

    Here is a simple chart to compare LCL and FCL:
