What is groupage / shared load?
16/04/20 18:09 Filed in: boxchain Moving | international moving | Singapore | moving to australia | moving to uk
Like some other companies in Singapore, Boxchain-Moving offers a shared load (or groupage) service to UK and AU.
What is the difference between groupage and direct shipping? Let’s start with the industry descriptions.
A direct shipment is referred to as an AIR, LCL or FCL
AIR = Airfreight, packed at your home and flown to destination within a few days. Transit time is typically 7-10 days to UK & AU.
LCL = A small sea shipment (up to about 10 cubic meters) packed at your home and cased at warehouse. Shipping is within in a couple of days. 20 days to AU (not inc quarantine) and 3.5 weeks to UK
FCL = A large shipment (20ft & 40ft containers) 30 cbm and up. Packed at your house and loaded direct to the sea container. 12 days on water to AU and 3 weeks on water to UK
A shared load / groupage is referred to as GPG
GPG = Typically a low volume move, packed at your home and then taken to warehouse to await shipping. Shipping occurs when the Mover has achieved enough volume to send a container to the applicable port. For both UK & AU, it takes approximately 12 weeks to complete the deliver. However.. It’s not a fixed contract for transit time. It could be quick.. It could take a while. The reason a groupage shipment is ‘cost effective’ is because you are only paying for your space in a container and the Mover is not tied to a transit time.
If transit time is a factor for you, it would be best to consider the direct shipping options.
