Case overview: Ms. Tashiro entrusted Seapoe Relo with shipping her new furniture and used items from Shanghai back to Tokyo, Japan.

In her earlier years, Ms. Tashiro frequently came to China from Japan for work. Later, due to a job assignment, she settled in Shanghai, where she worked and lived for more than twenty years and had grown accustomed to the pace of life there. However, as her parents grew older and there were no other children around to care for them, Ms. Tashiro, unable to set her mind at ease, resolved to return to Tokyo to be by their side. After much consideration, she decided that in addition to her own luggage and belongings, she would also purchase some new furniture to ship back to Tokyo for use. She then contacted Seapoe Relo through a friend's referral.

After understanding Ms. Tashiro's needs clearly, the Seapoe consultant worked out the most cost-effective sea freight plan for her. Since the total volume of her shipment was not large—only about 4m³—the consultant recommended Seapoe's internal LCL group shipping, which is economical and offers solid safety assurance. After that, all Ms. Tashiro had to do was wait while her new furniture arrived one after another at the Seapoe warehouse, where it underwent inspection and reinforcement before shipping began!

After arrival in Tokyo, the Seapoe overseas team arranged dedicated staff and vehicles to deliver everything to Ms. Tashiro's home in Tokyo. They also helped disassemble the items, place them in her designated positions, and cleaned up all the packaging waste on site before leaving. Ms. Tashiro could not help praising them: "The service in China is just as meticulous and professional as in Japan!"
