Moose Logistics Services
Did you know depending on the size and weight of the product you are shipping; you are losing 20%-70% on shipping costs alone by shipping LCL? And if you are air shipping, you might as well buy a 3D printer!
By warehousing with Moose Logistics, you can warehouse your goods for 6-12 MONTHS and the cost would still be cheaper than shipping LCL direct to you. Further we are providing the peace of mind that your supply chain is on U.S. soil, available for pick and ship within 24 hours. No port congestion, shipping rate spikes, container delays, bonding agencies, or shifty freight forwarder excuses.
-Full pick and ship capability with exclusive domestic freight service available
-Consolidation locations from Asia will include Shanghai, Guangzhou and Pampanga, Philippines
-Our mission is to provide FCL shipping rates for all LCL shipments out of China. Never ship LCL again!
LCL costs more per CBM than FCL. With consolidation, you’ll get the benefits of shipping FCL.
What is Consolidated Shipping?
Consolidated shipping is a method of shipping where a consolidator combines individual LCL shipments from various shippers into one full container shipment. Participating in consolidated shipping earns the shipper preferred rates. When the full container shipment reaches its destination, the shipments are then deconsolidated into their original LCL shipments.
LCL vs. FCL
- Less than container load (LCL, also referred to as less than truckloador LTL), as defined above, is when a shipment is too small in mass to require a full container to ship. These types of shipments are priced based on volume and are consolidated to fit into full containers. LCL shipments are commonplace in supply chains.
- The alternative is full container load (FCL), which is when a shipment does have enough mass to require an entire container to ship. This type of shipment usually has a flat rate per container. Unlike with LCL shipments, FCL shipments are loaded and sealed at the origin by the supplier or manufacturer.
Benefits of Consolidated Shipping
- Cost savings.Oftentimes, shippers will only use half or two-thirds of a trailer, but have to pay for the entire space. Consolidation services combine multiple LTL shipments that are heading in similar locations into a full truckload, and you pay only for the space your freight takes up.
- Reduced chance of damages. Where LTL uses a hub-and-spoke distribution method with multiple touchpoints, consolidation uses a model that significantly reduces the handling of the product as freight moves from shipper to consolidation center to receiver/consignee. With fewer touchpoints there’s less opportunity for product to be damaged.
- Speed to market. A consolidation strategy can help get your freight delivered where it needs to be, on your schedule. A provider with large freight volumes can put a plan into place that puts your freight on a truck and on the road, better utilizing truck space and a swifter transportation delivery model.
