Service Process

1. Customers contact us through various channels for initial communication. Seapoe's professional transportation consultants will provide customs policy consultation, shipping plans, and quotations based on cargo conditions, moving methods and routes, vessel schedules, and other information.
2. After a second round of communication based on Seapoe's plan and quotation, once the order is confirmed, the International Moving Carriage Contract is signed, vessel schedules and other information are confirmed, and Seapoe arranges for the packing team to visit and pack and reinforce the goods within the agreed timeframe.
3. Based on the relevant documents provided by the customer, Seapoe consultants assist in preparing packing lists and other customs declaration documents to ensure smooth customs release of the goods.
4. After arrival at the Australian destination port, different basic/value-added services are provided according to the contract, including destination port customs clearance, home delivery, removal of packing materials, placement of items in designated positions, and debris cleanup.

Shipping Time and Pricing

For sea shipping from China to Australia, the entire process from door-to-door pickup to home delivery generally takes 45-75 days.

Because Seapoe's international moving business is complex and offers many optional services, giving a specific price directly without understanding your specific needs would be irresponsible. If you would like to know the price of sea shipping from China to Australia, please contact us for a quote.
