Shipping New Furniture Overseas to Wellington, New Zealand

Service Route: Shanghai to Wellington;
Service Mode: One-stop door-to-door moving service;
Case Overview: Ms. Yu commissioned Seapoe Relo to ship new furniture purchased in Shanghai to Wellington, New Zealand.

Ms. Yu has been working and living in Wellington, New Zealand for several years. This year she moved into a new house. For cost-effectiveness and because she was unwilling to compromise on her home aesthetics with local furniture stores, she took a friend's advice and decided to buy a batch of new furniture in Shanghai, contacting Seapoe Relo to ship the furniture to Wellington.

Although Ms. Yu had seen many online warnings about pitfalls in shipping furniture by sea and had prepared for the worst, fortunately, after receiving all the furniture, both its appearance and quality were excellent, and the shipping process went very smoothly without a single problem! How did Ms. Yu manage to avoid all the pitfalls? Let's take a look!

How to choose furniture for sea shipping:
1. Before renovating your new home, determine the decoration style, which is crucial to the overall home layout. You can get inspiration through various channels, such as favorite home bloggers, reference images provided by renovation companies, etc., to gradually build your dream house, making every piece of furniture and decoration match your aesthetics and needs as much as possible;
2. Choosing the right purchasing channels for furniture is also important. You can use various platforms and take advantage of promotions to select cost-effective furniture, or you can go directly to furniture manufacturers—there are many highly cost-effective furniture factories in China;
3. If conditions allow you to return to China, it is best to personally select each piece of furniture on site. Ms. Yu made a special trip back to Shanghai to choose a whole set of new furniture in stores, which can largely avoid furniture pitfalls.

How to choose a sea shipping company:

1. It is recommended to choose international moving and sea shipping companies with relatively rich experience, as their service processes are more comprehensive, transportation safety is better guaranteed, and the whole process is more worry-free;
2. Avoid freight forwarding companies that use "double clearance and tax included" as a gimmick; choosing an international moving company that can provide tax-exempt customs clearance is the reasonable and lawful option;
3. For sea shipping services, try to choose companies that clearly offer door-to-door delivery, furniture placement, disassembly and packaging, and debris cleanup, which can help you avoid many troubles abroad. As is well known, such labor costs are very high and it is difficult to find suitable professional workers locally.
