Yokohama Sea Freight Luggage to Beijing

Customer Information: Mr. Yang;
Shipping Route: Yokohama to Beijing;
Service Date: March 6, 2019;
Case Summary: Mr. Yang entrusted Seapoe Relo to ship his belongings by sea from Yokohama, Japan to Beijing, China.

Yokohama, a world-renowned tourist city, is Japan's second most populous and third largest metropolis by area. Historic buildings, upscale cafés, fashionable clothing and accessory shops, quiet and serene parks, together with a steadily growing economy, attract many Chinese to work in Yokohama, and Mr. Yang, a Beijing native, had been working there for many years.

Recently, Mr. Yang resigned from his job in Japan and was preparing to return to China for development. He wanted to ship some luggage and other personal items back home—after all, they had accompanied him for many years, so he wanted to bring them back. He searched for international moving companies, found "熙浦国际搬家", and placed an order directly on the official website. After receiving the order, Seapoe staff called him and carefully asked what items he needed to ship and whether they were worth shipping—after all, some items would cost more to ship back than to buy new in China. Mr. Yang's shipments were mostly clothes, shoes, books, crafts, and a piano. With so many items, the cost of checked baggage on his flight would be high, so he wanted to entrust "熙浦国际搬家" with sea freight back to China and delivery to his home in Beijing.

Mr. Yang had already sorted and packed the clothes, books, and other miscellaneous items. For the remaining piano, Seapoe arranged for staff to pack it on site, send it to Seapoe's warehouse in Japan, and after customs declaration was completed, ship it by sea to China, clear customs, and deliver it to Mr. Yang's home in Beijing. Below is the scene when Mr. Yang in Beijing received the goods:
