Assume you want to travel from Aberdeen city centre say from the front of Primark shopping mall to somewhere in Garth Dee like Robert Gordon University campus, without a personal car. Two options are open to you; either you join the public bus transport provided by FIRST transport company or you take a taxi with more comfort and more cost implication. Assuming you are one of the guys that love comfort zone like myself, and would not consider the option of mass bus transit at all, and yet you are limited by the amount of money in your hand. What if there are 2 or 3 friends in the same situation may be you want to pull resources together to pick the taxi. This arrangement would ensure that you enjoy the desired comfort with even lesser cost burden on all friends. A similar arrangement is made in international shipping by customers of freight Forwarders. This article is focused on shipping to Nigeria of Less-than-Container-Load (LCL). We shall begin by understanding the shipping term LCL.
