Case Overview: Mr Yang entrusted Neptune Movers to transport his furniture to ship his furniture items from his home in Changsha to Perth, Australia by sea.

Perth is a coastal city in the south-west of Australia, a small but beautiful city easily overlooked by everyone. Most people think of Sydney and Melbourne first when they talk about Australia, and even many Australians habitually ignore its existence. It is also known as ‘the loneliest city in the world’ because it is so far away from other major cities in Australia and stands alone on the western coastline of Australia. This unique geographical location gives it a unique beauty of solitude, allowing Perth to stay away from the hustle and bustle, maintaining nature and tranquillity while not lacking in beauty. The entire city is surrounded by the Swan River, and the blue sky and white clouds are always overhead, as if nature's paintbrush was splashed all over the place.

Mr Yang from Changsha sells his house and prepares to migrate to Perth, Australia with his whole family to start a new life. The residence in Perth is also arranged, only the soft furnishings are left. Listening to friends in Australia, they said that they can't buy good furniture locally, and suggested them to sea freight the old furniture in China, which can spend a large amount of money less and also enhance the happiness of life.

On the recommendation of a friend, he found Hipu International and entrusted Hipu to help him complete this cross-country move. Mr Yang was transporting old furniture for his own use, and the visa also met the Australian Customs duty-free clearance conditions, so we could help Mr Yang apply for a duty-free move to Australia.

Hippo's staff will pick up the furniture items at home according to the characteristic shapes of the furniture items, and then use different packing methods. The packed furniture will be transported to Hippo's warehouse first, and after arriving at the warehouse, the furniture will be packed with high-density wooden crates and frames according to the needs to ensure the safety and smoothness of the shipping process! The following is the scene of picking up and packing on the same day:
