Canberra is the capital of the Commonwealth of Australia, located on an open valley in the mountainous region of southeastern Australia. As Australia's capital, Canberra is less well-known worldwide than Sydney and Melbourne, but it currently attracts more and more entrepreneurs to come to Canberra to realize their dreams with its strong entrepreneurial atmosphere, unique locational advantages, and rich talent resources.

After a brief conversation with Ms. Wang, Seapoe's customer service advised her, based on Australian customs regulations, not to ship items such as medicines, cosmetics, and laptops, but to carry them with her instead; in addition, she was advised to scrub shoes and clothes clean. Furthermore, Seapoe can provide some cardboard boxes to make it easier for Ms. Wang to pack her belongings; if there are items that Ms. Wang finds difficult to handle, Seapoe can arrange for staff to provide packing services when picking up the goods on site.

At the time agreed with Ms. Wang, Seapoe's staff came to pick up the goods. Most of the items had already been sorted and packed by Ms. Wang, while some valuable fragile items were packed by Seapoe's workers, whose professional packing techniques ensure that the items will not be damaged during transportation.
