Ship 1–15 cubic metres without paying for a whole container. Weekly consolidation at our Shenzhen warehouse, sailing to Felixstowe and London Gateway, delivered to your UK door.
Most UK importers start small: a few pallets from one supplier, or cartons from three different factories that need to arrive together. LCL (less than container load, also called groupage) lets you share a container with other shippers and pay only for your own cubic metres. It is the standard entry point for new importers and for established businesses testing a new product line.
Our Shenzhen warehouse consolidates cargo weekly. Your suppliers deliver in, we check cartons and quantities against the packing list, photograph what arrived, and load into a dedicated LCL service bound for Felixstowe or London Gateway.
Your factories send goods to our Shenzhen warehouse. We book them in, check cartons, weights and marks against your packing list.
Your cargo is loaded into the LCL container with the weekly sailing. You get the container number and an estimated arrival date.
At the UK terminal the container is stripped. Our broker files the CDS entry and pays duty and VAT under DDP.
We deliver to your postcode or Amazon FC, usually within 2–5 working days of release, with proof of delivery.
Per cubic metre (CBM) with a minimum charge, plus destination charges. We quote a single figure that covers China export handling, the ocean freight, UK terminal handling, clearance and — under DDP — duty, VAT and delivery, so there are no fees landing on you later.
One carton. Practically, LCL becomes economic from about 1 CBM upward; below that, air or express is often comparable once you count the destination charges.
Around 32–40 days port-to-port, and 38–48 days door-to-door. LCL is slower than FCL because the container waits to be consolidated and is de-consolidated at destination before your cargo is released.
Yes — this is where LCL works best. Your suppliers deliver to our Shenzhen warehouse, we check cartons and quantities against the packing lists, photograph the cargo, and load everything into one consolidated container.
Groupage means your cargo shares a container, so packing quality matters. We inspect cartons on receipt, recommend additional protection for fragile items, and can palletise for an extra handling fee. For very fragile or high-value cargo, FCL or air is usually the better decision.
Both. Port-to-port if you have your own broker and haulier, or door-to-door DDP to any UK postcode including Amazon fulfilment centres.
Send the carton dimensions and weights. We will calculate the CBM, compare LCL against air, and quote both so you can choose.
