Shipping from Beijing to Singapore

Client Information: Ms. Wang;
Shipping Route: Beijing to Singapore;
Case Summary: Ms. Wang entrusted Seapoe Relo to ship the furniture and belongings from her Beijing home to Singapore by sea.

For immigrants, international moving is mostly a first-time experience. Moving from Beijing to Singapore by cross-border ocean shipping is no small matter—the vast transoceanic distance, the lengthy sea voyage, and the complicated procedures have deterred countless people from making the move from Beijing to Singapore. Ms. Wang, who lives in Beijing, recently contacted Seapoe Relo to help her move some old furniture and household items to Singapore. Below is the packing case of Ms. Wang's move.

1. Collectibles: These are Ms. Wang's favorite collectibles, of very high value. After carefully packing them, the workers did not forget to affix a "Fragile" label to prevent damage.

2. Wall art: Wall art is an important decoration for the walls at home, so the workers had to pack them carefully; even small photos were wrapped in layer after layer.

3. Bookshelf: Ms. Wang's family most enjoys spending time in the study, so of course the bookshelf that has accompanied them for so long also needed meticulous packing, to be shipped across the ocean to their new home in Singapore and continue to keep them company.

4. Wardrobe: As an essential piece of furniture in the home, it naturally had to be moved too. However, this wardrobe was somewhat heavy, and it took several workers working together to carry it out of the house.

After all items are packed, they will be loaded onto trucks and sent to the Seapoe warehouse, and then the sea voyage can begin!
