Case Overview: Ms Deng entrusted Hippo International to transport her furniture from her home in Xiamen to Seoul, South Korea by sea.

Located in the Han River Valley in the north-west of Korea, Seoul is one of the most densely populated cities in the world. Although Seoul occupies only 0.6 per cent of Korea's area, it accounts for 21 per cent of the country's GDP. Seoul is a highly digitalised city, ranking first in the world in terms of internet speed and digital opportunity index. Seoul is home to places of interest such as Gwanak Mountain, Triangle Mountain, Inwang Mountain, Gyeongbokgung Palace, Deoksugung Palace, and Changdeokgung Palace. The city's history and times are shown in the shade of the city, where old palaces and temples are interspersed with modern complexes that rise straight into the sky.

Ms Deng, the only daughter of an elderly woman from Xiamen, has married far away in Seoul, South Korea. Because she is worried about her parents at home, her daughter has been doing the old couple's ideological work to come to Seoul to live with her. Although they were initially very resistant to going to Korea, as they grew older, they began to feel lonely as they watched their friends around them enjoying the happiness of being with their children and grandchildren. Therefore, they decided to go to Seoul to join their daughter and enjoy their family life.

The daughter was very happy to learn of her parents' decision and immediately began to prepare for their immigration. In order to make her parents feel at home in Seoul, Ms Deng planned to ship the furniture they used in Xiamen to Seoul with them. After being introduced by a friend, Ms Deng chose Hippo International Movers.

According to the booked appointment, Hippo's staff came to the old lady's house with professional packing materials and started to pack the transported items. Hipu International uses standardised three-layer packing: the first layer is pearl cotton underlay to prevent scratches; the second layer is rigid corner strips to prevent collisions; the third layer is a cardboard box made from five layers of thickened cardboard, cut to size according to the size of the items, for full protection. After the packing is completed, the items will be sent to Hipo's professional warehouse for operations such as making fumigation-free wooden crates and pallets to ensure that the furniture arrives safely in Seoul. Below are the photos of the pick-up and packing site on the same day:
