Welcome to our LCL services

At DFS Worldwide, we understand that not all shipments require a full container. That's why we offer comprehensive Less than Container Load (LCL) services to accommodate your smaller shipments with the same level of care and efficiency as our full container services.

What is LCL Shipping?
LCL shipping is a cost-effective solution for businesses or individuals who don't have enough cargo to fill an entire container. With LCL, your goods share container space with other shipments headed to the same destination. This allows you to pay only for the space you need, making it an ideal option for smaller shipments.

Why Choose Our LCL Services?
1. We can offer door-to-door services from India to the UK using a range of reliable carriers, many of which are based on direct services.
2. All-in port-to-door rates can be obtained directly from the website for standard cargo meaning you have access to instant rates, alternatively you can speak to the sales team for the same competitive rates or anything outside of ‘standard’ cargo.
3. We offer regular, frequent sailings to Felixstowe ensuring your cargo is on a quick and efficient service. 
4. We can arrange customs clearance on your behalf at the major seaports in the UK.
