LCL means less than container load. Sometimes customer ordered more than one container, there would be left over goods, need to go through sea also, sometimes customer just order goods that not comes to a full container, and it’s not worth to go a full container, since the freight is comparatively high. So there’s the way to share container with products from other buyers that goes to same port. Of course, the forwarder will arrange this, and offer a price quotation, by CBM. The delivery time vary according to the destination port and shipping line.
