So Mr Zhang thought of the domestic home of the old furniture shipping to Canada, so that you can save a budget to buy new furniture, old furniture also do not have to idle in the country, two birds with one stone.

Mr Zhang found Hippo International Moving through a friend's recommendation, and entrusted Hippo to pack and ship all the commonly used domestic furniture items to Canada.

Removable large pieces of furniture will also be disassembled and then packaged to try to save volume, the whole process is very careful. The following is the same day pickup packing site:
