FCL is cheaper than LCL
LCL costs more than FCL per unit of freight. That’s because freight agents prefer a full container load rather than to figure out how to bundle many LCL shipments in a full container. In addition, many importing fees are fixed, which means that you have to pay them regardless of how large your container is.
