Frequently Asked Questions
How is LCL freight charged?
On whichever is greater of the cargo's volume (CBM) or its weight, converted to a chargeable weight — our CBM calculator tool can estimate this before you book.
How long does LCL take compared to FCL?
LCL adds a few days at both ends for consolidation and deconsolidation, but the ocean transit itself is the same as FCL on the same vessel.
What's the minimum shipment size for LCL?
There isn't a strict minimum — we consolidate anything from a single pallet upward, which is exactly the gap LCL exists to fill.
Is my cargo mixed with other shippers' goods?
Yes, that's how LCL keeps costs down — your cargo shares a container with other consignments, each properly separated, marked and manifested.
Who clears customs on an LCL shipment?
Apextar's in-house brokerage team files the Bill of Entry for your specific cargo after deconsolidation, independent of the other shippers in the container.
How do I book an LCL shipment?
Share your cargo dimensions, weight and readiness date via our quote form and we'll confirm the next available consolidation slot and rate.
