Consolidation Fee

The Consolidation Fee is a charge applied by logistics providers for combining multiple small shipments into a single larger shipment.

This fee covers administrative and handling costs associated with merging consignments, typically for less-than-container load (LCL) or less-than-truckload (LTL) shipments.

Consolidation reduces shipping expenses, improves efficiency, and ensures better space utilization. However, it may add extra handling time.
