Competitors Spying at Trade Shows

Shipping delays happen for many reasons: shipping lines change routes, port closures due to weather, strikes, container shortages, customs holds. Always leave at least one week buffer in delivery dates. Split important orders across multiple containers.

LCL vs FCL depends on volume and urgency. Under 15 CBM, LCL is cheaper. Over 20 CBM, FCL is more economical. LCL has schedule unpredictability — the container won't sail until full. Use LCL for non-urgent shipments.
