FCL vs LCL: when a 20ft container pays off

The 12–15 CBM crossover, mixed-SKU math and consolidation tactics.

Above ~12–15 CBM, a dedicated 20ft FCL almost always beats LCL per unit — and clears Jebel Ali faster with one B/L.

Below that, consolidate: mix bedding, towels and fabrics into shared boxes to hold mill pricing.

Mixed-SKU FCL is our default retail program — consolidated at origin, split across your stores from our 3PL.
