How is the cost of LCL shipping determined?
The cost of LCL shipping is typically calculated based on the volume (cubic metres) or weight of your shipment, whichever is greater. Other factors such as destination, type of goods, and any additional services required (e.g., customs clearance, insurance) can also influence the final price.
