Mr Xu, who lives in Xi'an, chose to settle in Ottawa after obtaining a maple leaf card in Canada. Mr Xu learned about the Canadian furniture market in advance, the price is expensive and less styles, the overall furniture style is more inclined to the Western European style, Mr Xu who is used to using Chinese furniture, naturally, he does not like it, plus Xi'an home furniture furniture home furniture used for some years, there is a deep emotional attachment, so I thought of packing the whole house furniture and bring it to the new home in Ottawa. After comparing the price, service, reputation and professionalism, we finally chose to entrust Hippo to complete this cross-country move.

Because Mr Xu had to transport a lot of things, including bed, wardrobe, sofa, dining table and chairs, coffee table, piano and other furniture, he chose to transport the whole container. Although it is safe to go for the whole container, professional packaging needs to be provided in order to ensure the safety of the furniture items.

On the day of pickup, Hipo's packers are strictly in accordance with international moving standards for packing, using high-quality packaging materials for multi-layer packing: the first layer wrapped in pearl cotton for anti-scratch treatment, the second layer of rigid corner strips to prevent bumping around, and the third layer of five layers of thickened rigid cardboard for the outermost layer of packaging!

Packed furniture items will be transported to the Hippo warehouse to make fumigation-free wooden crates and pallets and other subsequent reinforcement, thus more to ensure that the items can be safely transported to Mr. Xu's new home in Ottawa! The whole process of Mr Xu does not need to worry about the whole process, only need to go to the customs office to answer questions when clearing customs, the rest is all done by Xipu, truly a key type of worry-free transport.

(1) If the goods arrive at the port, the consignee needs to go back to his home country due to an emergency, he can arrange his family or an agent to bring his documents, go to the local customs together, explain to the customs officer the reason why he needs to go back to his home country, and then entrust his family or an agent to clear the customs on his behalf, and the customs office will ask for a certificate to be written on the spot and stamped for it. However, Canada Customs does not allow family members or agents to take the consignee's documents.
