Shipping Woks from Guangzhou/Shenzhen to Davao Port, Philippines: Full Container and LCL Options

Shipping Woks from Guangzhou/Shenzhen to Davao Port, Philippines: Full Container and LCL Options

Full Container Load (FCL) Shipping

Full Container Load (FCL) shipping is ideal for large shipments that can fill an entire container. This option provides the benefit of faster transit times and reduced handling since the goods are not mixed with other shipments. FCL shipping from Guangzhou or Shenzhen to Davao Port typically takes around 11 days by sea.

For full-container shipments, the most common container sizes are 20FT and 40FT containers. A 20FT container can accommodate approximately 10-12 tons of goods, while a 40FT container can hold up to 22-24 tons. The shipping term for FCL in this case would be CIF (Cost, Insurance, and Freight), meaning that the cost of the goods, insurance, and freight charges to Davao Port are included in the price.

Less-than-Container Load (LCL) Shipping

If your shipment is not large enough to fill an entire container, LCL (Less-than-Container Load) shipping is a more economical option. LCL shipping allows you to share container space with other shipments, reducing costs for smaller businesses or those with smaller quantities to ship. However, the transit time for LCL shipping can be a bit longer compared to FCL, as the cargo needs to be consolidated at the port before it departs.

With LCL, the shipment will be loaded into a shared container, and the final delivery is made once the goods reach Davao Port. The sea freight journey from Guangzhou/Shenzhen to Davao takes approximately 11 days.

Packaging of Woks for Shipping

Proper packaging is essential to ensure that the woks arrive in Davao Port in good condition, particularly given the potential for damage during transit. Here’s a look at how woks are typically packed for international shipping:

  1. Individual Packing: Each wok is carefully packed in a sturdy cardboard box or wooden crate to protect it from physical damage. This ensures that the cookware does not get scratched or bent during the long journey.

  2. Padding and Protection: To further protect the woks, a layer of bubble wrap or foam padding is often used. This helps prevent any movement within the box and provides cushioning in case the shipment is jostled during transport.

  3. Labeling: Clear and visible shipping labels are attached to each package to ensure accurate identification during the entire shipping process. Labels typically include the destination port, handling instructions, and the contents of the box.

  4. Cargo Consolidation: In the case of LCL shipping, smaller packages will be consolidated into a larger container, and the items will be secured using plastic shrink wrap, strapping, and other protective materials to prevent shifting.

  5. Container Loading: For FCL shipments, woks are carefully loaded into the container, ensuring proper stacking and securing to avoid damage during the long sea voyage.
