Customer: Please see my importers responds.

We need more information regarding your exporter.

See my importers request below.

Please can you ask supplier which company will be consolidating the LCL shipment. The consolidator will be the company who collects the cargo and who arranges for the container to be shared. They are also responsible for the pack and unpack of the container.

Examples of an LCL consolidator are CFR Freight and Vanguard Logistics.

I am happy to liaise directly with the supplier if you are comfy and if need be to get this moving.
