LCL Shipping from China Without Unnecessary Costs: Door-to-Door Transportation

Project Overview

• Shipment transported as Less than Container Load (LCL) cargo.
• End-to-end door-to-door delivery.
• Cargo consolidation required at a warehouse in China.
• Coordination of every stage of the supply chain.
• Cost optimization through the use of a shared container.
• Full shipment visibility and control throughout the transportation process.

Our Solution

The shipment was carried out via ocean freight using an LCL service:

• We collected the cargo directly from the supplier's warehouse in China under EXW (Ex Works) terms.
• We delivered the goods to a consolidation warehouse, where they were prepared for international shipment.
• We arranged loading into a shared ocean freight container.
• We organized sea transportation to the Port of Gdańsk, Poland.
• Upon arrival, we managed the deconsolidation process.
• We completed the import customs clearance and delivered the cargo directly to the customer's specified address.
• We coordinated every stage of the logistics chain, ensuring complete visibility and control from origin to destination.

Results

• The client received a comprehensive door-to-door logistics service provided by a single logistics operator.
• Every stage of the shipment was managed within one integrated supply chain—from the supplier's warehouse in China to final delivery in Poland.
• Using LCL shipping significantly reduced transportation costs by eliminating the need to book an entire container.
• The client did not have to coordinate multiple service providers, as the entire logistics process was managed by BGT Group.
• The cargo was delivered on schedule, with full transparency and continuous shipment monitoring throughout the process.
