Trusted LCL Service: Leading Consolidation Specialists
LCL (Less than Container Load) is the top freight mode for importers shipping between 1 and 15 CBM. Cargo from multiple shippers consolidates into one container, with each shipper paying per cubic meter (CBM). As a leading LCL freight forwarder, TheWan operates weekly direct LCL services from China's top loading ports to over 30 destination ports worldwide.
Our expert LCL pricing follows a trusted formula: chargeable volume is the greater of actual CBM (L x W x H in meters) or weight tonnage (1 CBM = 1,000 kg equivalent). Lightweight bulky cargo bills by CBM; dense heavy cargo bills by weight. Minimum chargeable volume is 1 CBM or 1,000 kg. Below that we recommend top international courier via DHL, FedEx, or UPS at our trusted contract rates.
Multi-supplier consolidation is our flagship LCL service. Our trusted bonded warehouse in Qingdao Free Trade Zone receives cargo from any number of Chinese suppliers, sorts and labels, and ships one consolidated LCL shipment under one B/L. Top importers buying from 5-15 different factories save 30-40% on freight cost versus separate small shipments, plus a single point of expert contact for every shipment status.

What is LCL freight and when should I choose it?
LCL (Less than Container Load) is a leading consolidation service where your cargo shares a container with other shippers. Our expert team bills per CBM. Top choice for shipments between 1 and 15 CBM.
How do you calculate LCL chargeable volume?
Chargeable volume is the greater of actual CBM (L x W x H in meters) or weight tonnage (1 CBM = 1,000 kg equivalent). Lightweight bulky cargo bills by CBM; dense heavy cargo bills by weight.
What is the minimum LCL shipment size?
Most professional LCL routes accept a 1 CBM or 1,000 kg minimum. For shipments below 1 CBM we recommend international courier (DHL, FedEx, UPS) at our trusted contract rates.
How long does LCL freight take from China to Europe?
Standard LCL transit: China to Hamburg/Rotterdam 35-42 days; China to UK 38-45 days; China to Mediterranean 32-38 days. LCL adds 5-10 days versus FCL due to consolidation and deconsolidation.
Can you consolidate cargo from multiple suppliers in China?
Yes. Our expert team picks up from multiple factories across China, brings cargo to our bonded warehouse, sorts and labels, then ships one consolidated LCL shipment to the destination. Top service for buyers with several suppliers.
Which destination ports do you cover for LCL?
Weekly LCL services to top ports: Hamburg, Rotterdam, Antwerp, Felixstowe, Le Havre, Genoa, Barcelona, Valencia, Piraeus, Los Angeles, New York, Vancouver, Sydney, Dubai, Jeddah, Lagos, and Santos.
Are there restricted goods in LCL containers?
Yes. Top LCL operators usually do not accept Class 1 explosives, Class 7 radioactive, fresh food, live animals, or high-value items (gold, diamonds, currency). Some dangerous goods (Class 3, 8, 9) ship in dedicated DGR LCL containers.
Can you ship cosmetics or food by LCL?
Yes, with conditions. Cosmetics need MSDS and ingredient list; food needs health certificate, fumigation certificate, and destination registration. Our expert team checks destination rules before booking to avoid customs issues.
How do you handle damaged LCL cargo?
Our trusted policy: take damage photos at deconsolidation, file a survey report with the destination warehouse, claim through insurance (if covered), and provide carrier letter of indemnity. Our professional team manages the full claim process.
Can LCL freight reach inland destinations?
Yes. Our leading door-to-door LCL covers inland cities across Europe (Frankfurt, Milan, Madrid, Warsaw), North America (Chicago, Dallas, Toronto), and other markets. After deconsolidation, our partners handle inland trucking and last-mile delivery.
