**Case Overview: Ms. Gao entrusted Xipu International to ship furniture items from her home in Suzhou to Rotterdam, the Netherlands by sea.

Ms. Gao, whose hometown is Suzhou City, Jiangsu Province, has moved to Rotterdam, the Netherlands, for many years. This year, she went back to China to deal with some things at home, and in the meantime, she planned to transport all the souvenir objects of the old people in her family to Holland as a remembrance. There are many cross-country moving companies on the Internet, Ms. Gao was dazzled by the choice, and finally, under the recommendation of her friends and her own multiple comparisons, she chose Xipu International Moving.

Moving from Suzhou to Rotterdam was not an easy task for Ms. Gao. Because Ms. Gao wanted to take away more items from her old home, besides two very high and big closets, there were also coffee table, china, photo albums, clothes, books and other items, which added up to a total volume of about 12 cubic meters. Sea freight consolidation for the items less than 15 square customers, is a very affordable way, specifically and other customers to rent a container transportation. Because there are a lot of items, Ms. Gao also asked us to put non-fumigation wooden pallets in the warehouse for the items, so that the items can be concentrated together and prevented from being lost. In addition, because it was recommended by a regular customer, we also gave Ms. Gao the service of free fumigation-free wooden crates for the coffee table.

After a series of professional and high-quality services, all of Ms. Gao's belongings arrived in Rotterdam, Netherlands. Hippo sent a professional team of overseas movers with professional tools to deliver all of Ms. Gao's belongings to her door at the scheduled time. We also dismantled the furniture and placed it in the right place upstairs, and helped Ms. Gao to assemble the two closets, and then cleaned up the packing garbage at the site, and the move was successfully completed! Those souvenirs of Ms. Gao's elders can finally stay with her for a long time.
