Shipping

Groupage (LCL)

Consolidate small volumes with other shippers — pay only for your CBM.

Overview

Perfect for smaller shipments: your cargo is grouped with cartons from other importers into a shared container. You pay only for the volume you use, with the same professional handling and tracking as a full container.

Who this service is for

Small businesses, individual importers and any shipper whose volume does not justify a dedicated container.

Frequently asked questions

How do I calculate CBM?
CBM = length × width × height in meters. For irregular packaging, our team measures every carton on reception at the China warehouse.
Is there a minimum volume?
No fixed minimum. Groupage is designed for small volumes — even a single carton.
