LCL pricing is based on the total cubic volume (cubic feet or cubic meters) or gross weight of your cargo, whichever is greater. You pay for the space your boxed items, furniture, or pallets occupy inside the 40ft High Cube shared container, making it far more economical than renting a full container for smaller shipments.
