Consolidation

Consolidation

Consolidated shipping involves a process where a consolidator combines multiple Less than Container Load (LCL) shipments from different shippers into a single full container shipment. Shippers who participate in consolidated shipping benefit from preferred rates.

Deftship's local and extended networks employ consolidation to optimize efficiency and lower costs for customers.
