1. FCL and LCL Consolidation Shipping Options

Depending on order volumes and structural deadlines, we customize container allocations to balance cost efficiency and transit speed:

  • Full Container Load (FCL): Exclusive container usage. Recommended for volume orders of a single category (like hardware or packaging boxes). Offers faster transit times as containers do not require sorting at local container freight stations (CFS).
  • Less than Container Load (LCL): Cargo consolidation for multiple clients. We combine your pallets with other cargo bound for the same destination, allowing small and medium B2B buyers to access ocean shipping rates without committing to full container MOQs.

2. Container Types, Capacity & Payload Reference

Understanding weight limits and capacity volume is key to shipping efficiency. Below is our standard container reference table for sea freight shipping between China and Australia:

Container Type Internal Length Internal Volume Capacity (CBM) Maximum Payload Weight Best Suited Sourcing Goods
20-Foot General Purpose (20GP) 5.89 Meters Approx. 28 - 30 CBM 21,800 - 25,000 Kilograms Dense heavy cargo: steel fasteners, anchor bolts, hand tools

3. China Warehousing, Sorting & Palletization Depots

We operate consolidation depots in Yiwu, Ningbo, and Shenzhen. Sourced items from multiple suppliers are collected and organized before container loading:

  • Consolidation & Sorting: Receiving bulk shipments, verifying piece counts against packing lists, inspecting carton condition, and labeling items with warehouse location codes.
  • Palletization & Shrink-Wrapping: Building standardized timber pallets, applying corner edge boards, and shrink-wrapping cargo to prevent shift damage during heavy ocean transit.
  • Container Stuffing Audits: Supervising the container stuffing process, recording seal numbers, and taking loading photos to ensure weight is evenly distributed.

Service Frequently Asked Questions

What is the maximum payload weight for a 20GP container in Australia?

To comply with local axle load regulations for road transport, we limit 20GP payload weights to approximately 21,800 to 22,000 kg.

How does LCL shipping billing work?

LCL cargo is billed per Cubic Meter (CBM) or per Metric Ton, whichever is greater. We consolidate shipments weekly at our Yiwu and Shenzhen depots.
