We have a solution for both. - **LCL (groupage shipping):** Your goods share a container with other shipments. You only pay for the space you use. - **FCL:** You get a full container for your goods only. This gives you more control and security. **Learn more:** [FCL vs. LCL in Iran: which shipping method is better?](https://rasta-nik.com/fcl-vs-lcl-in-iran/) ### Cross-Stuffing for Cost-Efficient Shipping Cross-stuffing means combining cargo from different shippers into a single container.
