01LCL concept
Shared container space may be considered when the packed load does not need a whole container. Minimums, consolidation, schedule and acceptance require confirmation.
CHOOSE METHOD / CARD 02

CBM is not the only input. Unit count, weight, stackability, sensitivity, control and loading method shape the questions to ask.

02FCL concept
A whole container may be considered when volume, control or load planning points that way. Size, equipment and operation require confirmation.
03Compare honestly
Prepare CBM, unit count, known weight, packaging, photos and unusual details before asking for a recommendation.
BENCH CHECK / 06
A useful enquiry contains facts that agree with each other.
Do not combine estimates from before packing with photographs or dimensions taken after packing. Keep one final version of the load profile.
