Well, it really just comes down to your specific situation and whether you can find someone to handle an LCL shipment out of China,
I used to work with this one freight agency over in Cleveland that specialized in exactly that kind of shipping.
Even if you aren't grabbing a full container, it all boils down to how much stuff you're moving and what your margins look like. Right now, ocean freight rates are pretty low, so for most goods, just filling up maybe half of a 20' container is a totally solid way to go.
