Service Route: Shanghai to Saskatoon
Service Mode: Door-to-door one-stop moving service
Case Overview: Ms. Huang hired Seapoe Relo to ship the furniture and household items from her Shanghai home to Saskatoon, Canada, by sea.

Ms. Huang's whole family was emigrating, and they were going to settle in Saskatoon, Canada, for the long term! She had lived in her home in China for over ten years, and every piece of furniture had grown on her. The solid wood dining table was the one her husband picked out himself when they moved into the new place. The sofa was where her children had rolled around since they were little. Even the ornaments on the bookshelf held family memories. Once the new home in Saskatchewan was settled, she made a firm decision: no buying everything new! She would ship all the familiar furniture and household goods from China to Saskatoon, so the family could keep the same feeling of home abroad and bring the everyday warmth of their life in China with them.

Moving details

Ms. Huang's shipment was a private-belongings move. It included large furniture such as a solid wood dining table and chairs, a fabric sofa, a double bed and mattress, a bookcase and wardrobe, as well as clothes, bedding, pots and pans, and even badminton gear. The total volume was 11 cubic meters, with more than 30 pieces, large and small. For a shipment this size, Seapoe's Canada LCL ocean service was just right. She did not need to book a full container and could share one with other customers to split the freight, which made it excellent value.

Seapoe provides door-to-door international moving service, and the service covers the whole process: on-site packing, free storage, space booking and export customs declaration, destination customs clearance, dedicated delivery, basic assembly, and packing waste removal. Ms. Huang only had to book her flight with peace of mind; everything else was left to Seapoe!

• On-site packing: The movers arrive at the agreed time. Furniture legs are removed first, then the pieces are wrapped in EPE foam and fitted with corner protectors. Solid wood furniture that is vulnerable to knocks gets custom wooden crates for extra protection. Fragile dishes and bowls are wrapped in layers and packed in reinforced cardboard boxes, and books are split into separate boxes to keep the weight down. Leave the professional work to the professionals!
• Free storage: Items get 30 days of free storage in the Seapoe warehouse. Then they are consolidated with other customers' shipments bound for Canada, and the freight is split, which is safe and saves money.

Delivery to the door

Nearly three months later, these belongings, which had crossed the ocean and then covered much of inland Canada, were delivered safely by local dedicated truck to Ms. Huang's new home in Saskatoon!

The movers also helped put the furniture in place, did basic assembly, and took away the packing waste. Ms. Huang checked everything item by item right away, paying special attention to the solid wood tabletop, the sofa and mattress that could be crushed, and the fragile dishes and bowls: everything was intact! There was not a single scratch on the tabletop, the sofa was clean, the mattress was as good as new, and not one dish or ornament was broken or missing. There were no extra charges at any point, and she avoided every pitfall of cross-border moving!

Before Saskatchewan's harsh winter arrived, the new home was already set up to look familiar.
