International Shipping Services
Less Than Container Load International Shipping
‘Less than Container Load’ shipping, also referred to as LCL, applies to a consignment which does not justify the exclusive use of its own container as it has a volume that’s less than a container load. Therefore separate consignments for the same destination, can be ‘grouped’ together for transport in a single container known as Groupage.
Groupage International Shipping
If you are shipping just a few items or the contents of a small property, Britannia would consolidate your shipment with other compatible shipments at our central consolidation warehouse based in Redhill, into 20 ft and 40 ft containers. Our professional well-trained warehouse staff are on hand to carefully load the goods in the container to ensure the container load is secure and comfortably stowed.
The diagram below illustrates the groupage shipping method and how it works:
Reduce Your International Shipping Costs
Britannia provides groupage shipping an efficient hassle-free, door to door collection and delivery service, as a way to reduce the costs of shipping a smaller consignment of household and personal belongings internationally.
If you don’t want to share a container or require a swifter transit time, having your own container is still an option should you wish.
However, a groupage or ‘shared load’ consignment can be more appealing if you are looking for a more economical method of shipping goods overseas, and are not in too much of a hurry to receive your possessions.
Container Shipping International Destinations
We serve many major international destinations on a regular basis, so you won’t have to wait too long for your belongings to be shipped to your destination country. All shipments are professionally export packed, barcoded and securely stored in our purpose-built facilities until the container is ready to depart for transportation to your destination country.
Groupage shipping services are available to most major destinations worldwide with Australia, New Zealand, Canada, and South Africa being the most regularly served.
