Ms. Fan from Hangzhou, after graduating from her studies in Thailand, decided to settle down and work in Bangkok for a few years, and needed to ship some of her bedroom furniture items from her hometown to Bangkok by sea. After understanding Ms. Fan's shipping needs, Hipu consultants customized the shipping plan according to her items, and it was most cost-effective to go for LCL shipping. As it is located in Southeast Asia, there is no need to worry about the sky-high shipping cost and long shipping time, and the safety of shipping can also be assured.

However, the key to ensure smooth and safe shipping lies in professional packaging services. The Hippo team carefully packs items using high quality materials when picking them up at the door. Furniture, such as cabinets, are first wrapped in cotton white paper, then reinforced with shock-proof pearl cotton, and then protected by guard strips at the corners. Finally, depending on the shape of the furniture, it is custom wrapped in cardboard. For fragile items such as glass table tops and paintings, they are additionally packed into sturdy wooden crates after arriving at the warehouse to enhance the safety of transportation. Here is the packing scene on the day:
