LCL Shipping from Dubai to Africa
LCL shipping from Dubai lets you send cargo without paying for a whole container. The letters stand for less than container load, and many people call it groupage. Your goods share a container with cargo from other shippers, so everyone pays for their own share of the space.
It works well for small businesses, traders and individuals. For example, you may have a few pallets of goods, or some cartons for a shop in Kampala or Lubumbashi. Once a shipment fills most of a container, however, a full container is often cheaper.
LCL is usually charged by volume or weight, whichever comes out higher. So accurate carton measurements will give you an accurate quote.


How LCL Shipping from Dubai Works
First, you bring your cargo to our facility in Jebel Ali Free Zone, or we collect it from you. We measure it and prepare it for loading. Then it goes into a container with other cargo heading to the same destination.
Each shipper gets a separate bill of lading, which shows clearly who owns what. When the container reaches the destination, it is unpacked and each shipment is released to its owner. For that reason, LCL takes longer than a full container, since the cargo is handled at both ends and may wait for the container to fill.
