Sea Shipping Timeline and Pricing

For sea shipping from Australia to China, the entire process from door-to-door pickup to door-to-door delivery generally takes 60-90 days. Since delays may occur at any stage due to authorized Australian customs agencies, which are uncontrollable factors, the actual total service time in individual cases may exceed the average.

Regarding pricing, since Seapoe provides not just sea shipping but comprehensive door-to-door international moving services, the service content and cost structure are relatively complex.
