Case Overview: Mr. Shu entrusted Seapoe Relo to ship furniture and household items from his Shanghai home to Oakland, USA.

Mr. Shu, a Shanghai native, had been working and living in Oakland, USA for several years due to a job assignment. Over the years, Mr. Shu grew fond of Oakland's peaceful and comfortable lifestyle—sunny year-round, with a sizable Chinese community, and even fairly authentic Cantonese cuisine. He therefore decided to stay in Oakland for the long term. After completing the relevant paperwork and purchasing a property, Mr. Shu decided to ship all the solid wood furniture and household items he had used for many years in his Shanghai home to the US. This way, he could save a considerable amount on buying new furniture, and continue to be accompanied by familiar furniture and belongings, easing some of his homesickness.

Once everything was ready, Mr. Shu contacted "熙浦国际搬家" through the Xiaohongshu platform. He also reached out to several other international moving companies. After comparing prices, service, professionalism, and efficiency across them, he chose "熙浦" as the carrier for this move.

After signing the contract, Seapoe's staff came to collect and pack the items at the agreed time. Because there were many solid wood furniture pieces—large in size and considerable in quantity—Seapoe's staff packed each item with great care and professionalism. After transporting everything to Seapoe's self-operated warehouse, they also built fumigation-free wooden crates for the more valuable furniture to prevent bumps and damage. A professional Seapoe consultant tracked the entire process and also handled customs declaration and clearance. Since Mr. Shu's identification documents and overseas residence status met the destination country's tax-exempt moving policy, all items entered the country smoothly and tax-free, saving another substantial sum.

After nearly two months, all the furniture and belongings finally arrived in Oakland safely and undamaged after crossing the ocean. The "moving" baton was passed to Seapoe's overseas colleagues, who scheduled a time with Mr. Shu and arranged dedicated staff and vehicles for door-to-door delivery. The overseas colleagues disassembled and placed all furniture and items in the designated positions, helped assemble simple furniture, and cleaned up and removed all on-site waste before leaving. Mr. Shu expressed that he was very relieved and satisfied, and would continue to choose Seapoe Relo for future needs!
