Consolidated cargo from China (LCL/LTL)
We'll bring your batch from China, even a small one, as consolidated cargo — by sea, rail or road, without paying for a whole container.
What this service is
Consolidated cargo is when batches from different shippers are consolidated and travel together: by sea and rail it's called LCL, by road — LTL. This lets you bring a small batch without paying for a separate container in full — you pay only for your volume.
It suits one-off and test purchases, marketplace sellers, and anyone whose batch doesn't fill a full container. We take batches from 1 cubic meter: we receive the goods from your supplier, consolidate them at a warehouse in China and deliver to a warehouse in Russia.
Sea, rail or road
We ship consolidated cargo by all three modes of transport and pick the balance of price and time for your task:
- Sea (LCL). The most economical option for planned shipments when time isn't pressing.
- Rail (LCL). The middle ground: faster than sea, cheaper than road, with a stable schedule.
- Road (LTL). The fastest overland option — when the goods are needed urgently.
Unlike carriers whose consolidated cargo mostly goes by sea or the sea+rail scheme, with us consolidated shipping is available on all three modes — you choose the one that fits your budget and timeline.
For an urgent batch — road; for a planned one — sea; for a balance — rail; we pick the mode for your task, not for whatever's on hand.
How consolidated shipping works
- Receiving from the supplier and consolidation. We receive the goods from your supplier (or several) at a warehouse in China and, if needed, store them until dispatch.
- Cargo preparation. We check the packaging and labeling and reconcile the accompanying documents — the invoice and packing list.
- Loading and dispatch. We consolidate the batch into a groupage container or truck, take a loading photo report and dispatch it by the chosen route.
- Arrival and customs. The cargo arrives in Russia; we handle customs clearance as a separate service and dovetail it with consolidated shipping.
- Door-to-door delivery. After release we deliver the cargo to your warehouse in the required city.

Frequently asked questions
With consolidated shipping your batch travels together with other shippers' cargo, and you pay only for your volume. A separate container pays off at large volumes; consolidated — when the batch doesn't fill it.
All three: by sea and rail (LCL) and by road (LTL). We pick the mode for your balance of price and time.
