LTL (Less Than Truckload) shipments are a great way to save from shipping charges sending your products to Amazon when compared to SPD (Small Parcel Delivery).
The main difference between SPD and LTL shipments is that boxes are placed on pallets and send as such.
You need enough space and tools to load the pallets on the truck send for pick up.
