LCL lets pallets, boxes and smaller shipments share a container. We coordinate collection and consolidation with compatible cargo, defining the service from origin to the agreed delivery point.
Groupage can suit stock replenishment, smaller imports and personal effects. We assess packed dimensions and weight. As volume increases, a full container may become competitive once handling and destination charges are included.
02
Prepare pallets for several handling stages
Consolidation and deconsolidation involve warehouse handling. Cargo needs suitable packaging, clear identification and adequate protection. Tell us whether pallets are stackable, fragile or restricted so compatibility can be checked before acceptance.
03
Allow for the full cost and timeline
Chargeable weight or volume, shipment minimums and warehouse services affect the price. The schedule includes warehouse receipt, consolidation, sailing, arrival and release. Vessel transit time alone is not the time until your pallets are delivered.

Your questions answered
Frequently asked questions
Can I ship a single pallet by LCL?
Yes, subject to minimum charges, suitable packing and cargo acceptance. The full price includes more than the ocean freight rate.
What measurements are needed?
Provide each packed unit’s length, width, height and gross weight, together with stacking restrictions and cargo details.
Why can LCL take longer than FCL?
Cargo must be consolidated at origin and separated at destination. Those warehouse stages add time beyond the vessel’s voyage.
Does the quoted freight include every charge?
Not necessarily. Collection, port handling, documentation, customs, delivery and taxes must be identified separately so the full service scope is clear.
Which departure port should I use?
The choice depends on collection location and available connections. We compare Spanish and other European ports with inland transport and destination arrangements.
Can non-stackable cargo be shipped?
It can be assessed, but extra space may increase the price. Declare fragility, projections and stacking restrictions before requesting a quotation.
Are all sea routes direct?
No. Some require transshipment or connecting road transport. The itinerary and expected stages are confirmed for the specific booking.
What happens after the vessel arrives?
Cargo must be released and available before collection. Documentation and inland transport should be coordinated with terminal deadlines and any storage-free period.
