LCL Consolidations Expands full life cycle capabilities for managing LCL shipping door to door

Less than a Container Load (LCL)

Universal Royal Express Courier was among the first operators in non-container-sized cargo consolidation – and remains the premier NVOCC provider of LCL consolidation today. Our commanding position is a function of our structure, our scale, and our services.

We manage the vast majority of shipments end-to-end: our network of own-managed facilities and offices allows us to maintain control of processes and ensure consistently high service standards. Our processes allow us to interface seamlessly with customers’ existing program, meaning that Universal Royal Express Courier’s reach can be used to complement large freight forwarder’s own networks and extend the reach of smaller operators – flexibly and efficiently.
