Your options
Pick the booking that fits the load
| Option | What it means | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| FCL | Full container load. A 20 ft or 40 ft container used only for your goods. | Larger orders, or goods that should not be handled with other cargo |
| LCL | Less than container load. Your goods share a container and you pay for the space they take. | Smaller or irregular orders |
| Consolidation | Several supplier orders combined into one shipment. | Buying from more than one supplier |
| Break bulk | Cargo too large or heavy for a container, loaded on its own. | Machinery, project cargo, oversized items |

Questions
Ocean freight FAQ
How do I know if I need FCL or LCL?
Send us the total volume (CBM, cubic metres) and weight. We will price both when the volume is close to the break point.
Do you ship exports as well as imports?
Yes. We handle ocean exports from Canada as well as imports.
What documents will I need?
Usually a commercial invoice and packing list. We tell you what else your goods need before they ship.
