Service Route: Shanghai to Los Angeles;
Service Model: Door-to-Door One-Stop Moving Service;
Case Overview: Mr. Wang commissioned Xipu International to ship his furniture from his home in Shanghai to Los Angeles, USA.

After moving to Los Angeles, Mr. Wang planned to purchase solid wood furniture but found that local options were expensive, limited in style, and failed to meet his preferences for Chinese and vintage aesthetics—all while costing nearly twice as much as in China. Upon learning that furniture sourced directly from factories in China offered better value and a wider variety of styles, he decided to import new furniture from China while also shipping his unused furniture from Shanghai to Los Angeles. This approach allowed him to save money while creating his ideal home environment.

After purchasing the furniture, Mr. Wang was most concerned about the safety, timeliness, and convenience of international shipping. On a friend’s recommendation, he chose Seapoe International Moving. A dedicated consultant tailored a cost-effective LCL (less-than-container-load) door-to-door solution based on the furniture’s volume, delivery timeline, and budget, with a dedicated team managing the entire process so he didn’t have to worry about any details.

Once the plan was finalized, Seapoe arranged for a team to come to his home in Shanghai to pack the unused furniture, while the newly purchased furniture was shipped to a warehouse in Shanghai for centralized management. Staff inspected each item individually, took photos, and provided feedback. To address moisture protection for solid wood furniture and the fragility of large items, they applied multi-layered protection and reinforced the corners. Once packing was complete, they sent the details and photos to Mr. Wang for confirmation before proceeding with the ocean shipment.

During the ocean transport phase, Seapoe leveraged its resources on the West Coast of the U.S. route and selected a direct liner service. The voyage took approximately 15–20 days, with real-time tracking available. Prior to arrival, the team prepared customs clearance documents in advance and filed declarations as required. The local team in Los Angeles assisted with customs clearance, eliminating the need for Mr. Wang to be present. After clearance, a delivery appointment was promptly scheduled.

On the day of delivery, the delivery team arrived on time to unpack and inspect the items. After confirming the furniture was in good condition, they arranged the pieces as requested, assembled the disassemblable furniture, and cleared away the packaging waste. Mr. Wang was highly satisfied with Seapoe’s professionalism and efficiency, stating that they had successfully resolved the challenges of shipping furniture internationally by sea.
