Service route: Changzhou to Vancouver, Canada;
Service mode: door-to-door one-stop moving service;
Case summary: Ms. Qiu hired Seapoe International to ship her solid wood furniture from China to Vancouver.

1. Background

Ms. Qiu's family lives in Vancouver for most of the year so her child can go to school there. She couldn't bring herself to part with the dining table, dining chairs, and bookcase that had served the family for years back in Changzhou. The pieces are mostly solid wood and bulky, and her biggest worry was that "once they get to Vancouver there'll be no one to carry them inside and set them in place." After comparing a few companies, she chose Seapoe International's door-to-door one-stop service: packing, ocean freight, customs clearance, and delivery with placement, all included. All she had to do was wait at her new Vancouver home for the delivery.

2. Packing at home and shipping out

The Seapoe team arrived with all the materials. The table's lazy Susan was removed and wrapped separately; the tabletop and base were reinforced layer by layer with pearl cotton and corner guards. The bookcase and chairs were packed by category and numbered item by item. The furniture was moved to the warehouse for consolidation and a second round of reinforcement, then space was booked and the shipment went out. A dedicated agent sent vessel schedule updates one to one, so the whole ocean leg stayed transparent and easy to track.

3. Ocean freight and duty-free clearance

After the shipment arrived at port, the overseas team helped Ms. Qiu complete a duty-free declaration under the personal effects policy, and the furniture was released without a hitch. With the documents ready in advance and proactive updates at each step, she never had to make an extra trip for paperwork.

4. Delivery and placement in one go

On delivery day, the truck pulled up in Ms. Qiu's Vancouver neighborhood. The tailgate lowered slowly, and the movers unloaded the cartons and wooden crates one by one and carried them inside.

Before going in, the movers laid down floor protection, then carried the items in room by room and stacked them neatly against the walls, keeping the walkways clear the whole time. Then they unpacked each piece and set it in place according to the layout Ms. Qiu had sent ahead: the dining table, lazy Susan and all, was carried into the dining room and set down in the spot by the window with good light; the chairs were arranged around the table; the bookcase stood upright against the wall.

After each piece was in place, the movers fine-tuned the level and checked that it was steady, then cleared away all the packaging waste.

5. Customer feedback

Ms. Qiu said: "I didn't expect delivery to be just the beginning. When it came to placing the furniture, the movers were more attentive than I was. Where the table should go, which way the bookcase should face, they confirmed with me again and again. Watching the furniture from back home settle into place piece by piece, this whole ocean shipment was really worth it."
