Service Route: Zhuhai to Munich
Service Mode: Door-to-Door Sea Freight One-Stop Service
Case Overview: Customer entrusted Seapoe Relo to ship all household furniture from Zhuhai to Germany

Ms. Qin, a Zhuhai resident with years of experience in foreign trade, accepted a long-term overseas assignment from her company and relocated to Munich, Germany. She purchased an apartment there with plans to settle permanently. Her full set of solid wood tea tables, custom wardrobes, and Chinese-style soft furnishings had accompanied her for years. Comparable furniture in Germany carries a steep price, so discarding these pieces would have been a real shame. After comparing several logistics companies, she chose Seapoe Relo's door-to-door sea freight service to ship all her household furniture from Zhuhai to Munich.

On-Site Packing and Warehouse Reinforcement

After signing, Seapoe's dedicated consultant visited her home for an on-site survey and customized a sea freight plan based on the volume and types of furniture. The professional packing team then arrived on-site and delivered meticulous protection: solid wood furniture corners received extra-thick edge protectors, and each piece was fully wrapped in multiple layers of foam padding and waterproof, dustproof film; ceramic tea sets and decorative ornaments were individually wrapped in bubble wrap, with fragile labels on each carton. The packing team loaded everything onto trucks and transported it to Seapoe's self-operated warehouse, where high-value wooden furniture received custom-built, fumigation-free wooden crates for extra protection against impact and moisture during the ocean crossing. Warehouse staff logged every item into the system and synced logistics milestones to Ms. Qin in real time.

Full-Service Customs Declaration and Clearance

Under German personal-effects import regulations, Seapoe specialists prepared the full set of clearance documents in advance, helped her complete duty-free declaration forms, and handled both the Zhuhai export declaration and Munich import clearance from start to finish. Ms. Qin qualified under the duty-free policy for long-term overseas residents, so her personal furniture, in use for over six months, cleared customs without duty, saving substantial import duties and taxes. She never had to contact customs authorities at any point.

Destination Delivery and In-Home Setup

After over two months at sea, the shipment arrived at the Port of Munich. Seapoe's German partner team scheduled a delivery date with Ms. Qin in advance, and a dedicated truck pulled up directly at her apartment building. The crew moved every piece in with care, reassembled the previously disassembled solid wood furniture, and positioned each item in the room she specified. Once everything was in place, they collected and hauled away all packaging waste, including cartons, bubble wrap, and wooden frames, leaving no cleanup for the customer.

Customer Feedback

Throughout the entire cross-border move, Ms. Qin only needed to provide basic identification documents. Seapoe handled packing, shipping, customs clearance, and reassembly as a one-stop service. Every piece of furniture arrived in perfect condition, and the Chinese-style furniture fills her Munich apartment with a familiar sense of home. Ms. Qin said Seapoe's standardized, full-chain service was hassle-free and dependable, making it an excellent choice for international household shipping.
