Frequently asked questions
FCL (Full Container Load) means that your goods occupy the entire container, while LCL (Less than Container Load) means your goods share container space with other shipments. FCL is ideal for larger shipments, whereas LCL is cost-effective for smaller loads.
The choice between FCL and LCL depends on the volume and weight of your goods. FCL is suitable for large shipments that can fill a container, while LCL is better for smaller shipments that do not require a full container.
FCL offers several benefits, including faster transit times, reduced risk of damage or loss, and simplified logistics since the container is dedicated to your shipment alone.
LCL can be more cost-effective for smaller shipments as you only pay for the space your goods occupy in the container. However, it may involve longer transit times and additional handling, which can increase the risk of damage.
Uniexpress provides an online tracking system where you can monitor the status of your shipment. You can also contact our team for updates on your shipment’s progress.
