LCL Shipments To Australia

Welcome to Season 1 Episode 3

In this episode of the Platinum Freight® podcast, Peter McRae discusses LCL shipments to Australia.

LCL shipping is when goods are moved from one place to another and share space with other people’s goods inside a shipping container.

The primary benefits of LCL shipping over FCL (Full Container Load) include lower costs and the ability to send smaller amounts of cargo.

However, risks and challenges are involved, such as port charges and potential damage or theft. To mitigate these risks, it is important to pre-clear the goods and have proper insurance.
