FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Why Choose Less Than Container Load (LCL)?
Here are the top three advantages of using LCL shipping:

1. Ship Without Delay: No need to wait for a full container—send your goods as soon as they're ready.

2. Maximize Efficiency: Leverage economies of scale by sharing container space, reducing waste and improving logistics flow.

3. Cost-Effective Shipping: Only pay for the space your cargo occupies, helping you control transportation expenses.

Is LCL Slower Than FCL?

While the port-to-port transit time for LCL is generally the same as FCL, additional time is needed for consolidation at origin and deconsolidation at destination. However, Mickey Excellency offers multiple weekly sailings on many trade lanes, helping to minimize delays and keep your cargo moving efficiently.

Is It Safe to Share a Container with Other Shippers?

Absolutely. Sharing a container through LCL shipping is secure and well-managed. At Mickey Excellency, we ensure confidentiality and cargo protection through rigorous processes handled by our expert consolidation and deconsolidation teams. These operations are conducted in fully compliant, secure facilities at both origin and destination.

Additionally, all Mickey Excellency customers are pre-vetted and verified as known shippers, giving you peace of mind when sharing container space.

What If I Have Multiple Suppliers? How Does Mickey Excellency Handle That?

Mickey Excellency provides seamless coordination for shipments involving multiple suppliers heading to the same destination. We manage the pickup of goods from each supplier and consolidate them into a single container, streamlining your logistics process.

With our strategically located consolidation centers, we ensure efficient coordination and full visibility throughout the journey—giving you complete control over your LCL shipments.
