Service Route: Tianjin to San Francisco
Service Type: Door-to-door moving service
Case Overview: Mr. Xu hired Seapoe International to ship his household furniture from Tianjin to San Francisco.

Mr. Xu landed a job at a San Francisco tech company. He had to move fast. He wanted the things he used every day to come with him—the solid wood furniture he’d spent ages choosing, and everything else his family had lived with for years.

He looked around locally. Furniture in San Francisco wasn’t cheap, and nothing looked right. He did the math and decided to ship his pieces and household goods from Tianjin. He’d save money and walk into a home that already felt familiar. He picked Seapoe’s door-to-door service from Tianjin to San Francisco.

Service Process

  1. Custom plan and quote: A Seapoe worked up an LCL door-to-door plan from Mr. Xu’s inventory and budget. The quote listed every charge clearly.
  2. Home packing: The crew arrived on time. They wrapped each piece in layers of moisture-proof, shock-absorbing material and added extra bracing for large items.
  3. Storage: Mr. Xu sent a few newly bought pieces directly to Seapoe’s own warehouse. Workers repacked them in export-grade packing, grouped them with the old furniture, and held everything for the next vessel.
  4. Export customs: Seapoe handled export declarations, organized the paperwork, and processed the shipment under actual item descriptions.
  5. Ocean freight: The container sailed from Tianjin Port on a US West Coast route. The crossing took 15–20 days. Mr. Xu could check the shipment status anytime.
  6. Overseas clearance: Documents were ready before the ship reached San Francisco. Seapoe helped Mr. Xu file a duty-free personal effects declaration. He didn’t need to show up.
  7. Home delivery: After clearance, the local team delivered on the promised date. The crew unloaded, assembled the furniture, placed it where Mr. Xu wanted, and hauled away all the packing waste.
  8. Dedicated support: One person stayed in touch from start to finish, notifying Mr. Xu at every milestone.
