Shipping furniture and books to Spain

Case Overview: Ms. Xu entrusted Seapoe Relo to ship new furniture purchased in Shanghai by sea to Barcelona, Spain.
Ms. Xu, who has settled in Barcelona, Spain, planned to buy a batch of Chinese furniture for her new home and ship it to Spain, along with some personal items and book collections from her current house in China.
Facing a series of challenges like scattered parcels, cross-border customs clearance, and last-mile delivery, Ms. Xu chose Seapoe Relo’s LCL sea freight service after comparing multiple options. “Fifty-one cartons of furniture and belongings—a full container would be overkill, but LCL fits my needs perfectly.”

Customized shipping plan, optimal route
At the initial stage, the Seapoe dedicated consultant first detailed Ms. Xu’s inventory: dining table and chairs, storage sideboard, shelves, used household items, collectibles, and a few books. Considering Ms. Xu’s immigration status and the nature of the goods, the consultant recommended Seapoe’s fixed-schedule LCL consolidation plan: sharing a container with Seapoe’s internal clients, splitting the ocean freight evenly, fixed sailing schedule for reliable transit time, and including dual customs clearance and door-to-door delivery. -
Warehouse collection and inspection, item-by-item verification
Since the furniture came from multiple sellers, Ms. Xu chose to have all parcels shipped directly to Seapoe’s Shanghai warehouse. The warehouse team offered free collection service, checking each arrival synchronously and updating the incoming status in real time within the system. Once all furniture arrived, staff conducted a unified count and confirmation before moving to the packing stage, preventing missing, wrong, or damaged items from the start. -
Standard maritime packing
According to the materials and structures of different furniture, Seapoe followed standard sea freight packing procedures: edge protectors on furniture corners, overall wrapping with pearl cotton for cushioning and shock absorption; panel furniture disassembled and sealed with cardboard sheets to avoid scratches during transit; all outer cartons labeled with contents for easy customs clearance and itemized delivery.

- Full transparency, seamless end-to-end
After departure, Ms. Xu could check the logistics tracking via the mini program. Before arrival at the port, Seapoe’s customs clearance team prepared documents in advance and assisted with Spanish customs formalities. After clearance, the local delivery team brought the furniture to the doorstep at the scheduled time, moved each piece to the designated spot inside the house, and cleared away all packing waste.

“I barely had to worry about anything, and all the furniture arrived intact. Bringing familiar things to the new home instantly gives me a sense of belonging.” After receiving her furniture, Ms. Xu proactively shared her positive experience with a local mom’s group and remarked, “Seapoe is totally trustworthy!”
