Case Overview: Ms. Wei commissioned Seapoe Relo to ship the furniture and luggage from her home in Qingdao, Shandong, to Ann Arbor, USA, by sea.

After receiving her US green card, Ms. Wei bought a single-family house in Ann Arbor. But she couldn't bear to part with the full set of old solid wood furniture in her Qingdao home, which was full of memories, so she asked Seapoe Relo to help ship the furniture and luggage from Qingdao to Ann Arbor by sea for continued use.

Door-to-door packing in Qingdao:
Seapoe's movers arrived at Ms. Wei's Qingdao home with professional packing materials and carefully sorted and packed the furniture and luggage to be shipped. Cotton paper, EPE foam and cardboard gave the furniture multiple layers of exterior protection. Fragile items and valuable furniture were taken to the Seapoe warehouse and custom-built into fumigation-free wooden crates — peace of mind from start to finish!

Consolidation and LCL ocean shipping:
Ms. Wei's furniture included two solid wood double beds, a solid wood Chinese-style sofa, a full set of solid wood dining table and chairs, plus several boxes of luggage and sundries — 7 cubic meters in total. Shipping via Seapoe's in-house LCL consolidation was the most cost-effective option. By sharing a container with other Seapoe customers, she only paid her share of the ocean freight, and also received the following services:

1. LCL furniture shipping starts at just 2m³ — even two or three pieces can be shipped~
2. 30 days of free storage, so everything ships together once all items arrive
3. Seapoe has many customers on its US dedicated line, so consolidation is fast, and in-house consolidation is more reliable
4. Seapoe has an overseas warehouse in the US, with a local team handling delivery — fully controllable throughout
5. For eligible new immigrants, Seapoe assists with duty-free customs clearance
6. Notifications at every milestone: loading, port arrival, customs clearance, delivery…
7. A formal contract is signed, with no hidden charges — the quote is the final price

Delivery to the door in the US:
The local team delivered to the door on the agreed schedule with dedicated staff and vehicles. They helped unload all the furniture, remove the outer packaging, and place each item neatly inside the house. They also helped with simple assembly of the dining table and cleaned up all packaging waste before leaving.
