Service route: Shanghai to Sydney
Service model: One-stop door-to-door moving
Case summary: The client hired Seapoe Relo to ship a full household of furniture from Shanghai to Sydney by sea.

The family was relocating to Sydney and wanted to bring the leather sofa, ergonomic office chair, large book collection, and home soft furnishings that had been with them for years. Leather furniture scratches and dents with little provocation, books spoil when they take on moisture, and the family did not know Australia's rules for declaring personal effects on arrival. Worried about damage in transit and tangled customs procedures, they compared several providers and chose Seapoe Relo's door-to-door sea shipping service.

On-site survey and a custom shipping and declaration plan

A moving consultant visited the home to survey the items and log the total volume, then drew on Australian customs policy for migrants' personal effects to build a shipping plan and declaration list, spelling out what to watch for in the duty-free declaration.

Detailed packing and extra protection for valuable furniture

During packing, the crew gave the valuable, delicate pieces dedicated protection. They wrapped the leather sofa in dust-proof cotton across the full leather surface to prevent friction scratches, packed thickened pearl foam and hard corner guards around the edges, then sealed it in cardboard for reinforcement. The ergonomic chair got cushioned wrapping on the armrests and metal base, with the casters protected separately. Books went into moisture-proof boxes sorted by category, small ornaments and decor pieces were wrapped in bubble film, and every package carried a label listing its contents, all shielded against shock and moisture.

Customs clearance and sea freight with trackable logistics

Once packing finished, the goods were consolidated, export cleared in China, and booked on direct sea freight to Sydney. The client could follow the shipment at any time and leave the intermediate steps to us.

Sydney customs clearance, delivery, and in-home reassembly

After the goods arrived at the Port of Sydney, a local agent handled customs clearance, and the delivery team brought everything straight into the home. They removed all packing and protection on site, reassembled the sofa and office chair and placed them where the client wanted, arranged the books and household items, and hauled away all the packing waste.
