Case Overview: Mr. Chen commissioned Seapoe International to transport furniture from his home in Shanghai to New York, USA, by sea.

To ensure that their son, who is about to study abroad in New York, can feel the “warmth of home” in New York, Mr. and Mrs. Chen from Shanghai decided to ship their Chinese-style furniture, which carries family memories, to their new home in New York via Seapoe International Shipping.

A week before the move, Seapoe consultants and Mr. and Mrs. Chen discussed the plan in detail. On the day of packing, four professionals arrived on time. When handling the cabinets, they laid down bubble wrap for cushioning, laid the cabinet body flat, wrapped it layer by layer, covered both sides with thick cardboard, reinforced the joints with thick tape, and finally covered it with a custom-made thick cardboard outer layer, securing it with tape in a “well” pattern multiple times.

The Chinese-style TV cabinet was packed with extra care: the technicians precisely measured the open spaces on both sides, cut cardboard to fit and support them, wrapped them in two layers of bubble wrap, and then covered them with thick cardboard. The packing technicians also drew a prominent downward arrow on the packaging, so that during transportation, it was immediately clear which end should face upward, preventing it from being reversed.

When packing the leather sofa, the technicians stuffed cushions into the gaps, wrapped the entire piece in bubble wrap to conform to the armrest curves, and then enclosed it in a custom-cut thick cardboard sleeve, protecting the leather while saving space.

Two months later, the items arrived safely in New York. The New York team delivered them to the door, unpacked them, and found the Chinese-style cabinet and TV cabinet intact, with the sofa still in its familiar condition. Mr. Chen and his wife exchanged smiles—what had crossed the ocean was not just furniture, but the weighty sense of security that comes with “home.”
