Tianjin Ocean Freight Moving to Osaka

Customer Information: Mr. Sun;
Shipping Route: Tianjin to Osaka;
Service Date: February 3, 2019;
Case Summary: Mr. Sun from Tianjin commissioned Seapoe Relo to ship approximately 6 cubic meters of furniture and other personal belongings by sea to Osaka, Japan.

Osaka is Japan's third-largest city, located in Osaka Prefecture in the Kinki region of western Japan. It is the nation's economic, political, and cultural center, with convenient transportation and developed trade. Clean roads, tidy streets, and high-quality air make Osaka feel like a comfortable and livable place overall, which is why Mr. Sun from Tianjin settled in Osaka, Japan.

Mr. Sun had about 6 cubic meters of luggage and personal items to ship to Osaka, Japan, and found Seapoe Relo through a friend's introduction. For 6 cubic meters of items, LCL sea freight is an economical and cost-effective option. As for costs, international moving is priced by volume, with transparent pricing and no hidden charges. Because sea freight takes a long time, packing is the guarantee of transport safety. For this reason, Seapoe staff brought professional packing materials to Mr. Sun's home to pack the items to be shipped.
