From Shanghai To Vancouver = December 2025

Review of Neptune Movers in , China

Moving from Shanghai to Vancouver involved shipping approximately 8 cubic meters of furniture and household items by sea. The entire process took about two months and went relatively smoothly. Here are some key takeaways: 1. Numerous shipping companies operate on the Vancouver route. After comparing several options, I ultimately chose Xipu International Moving, primarily because they have a dedicated customs clearance and delivery team in Canada. Transparent pricing and clear contracts are crucial to avoid unexpected surcharges later. 2. Most furniture was purchased online domestically and shipped directly to their warehouse, where they provided free storage and inspection. Personal belongings were packed in advance, and movers came to box them up, assisting with completing the English-language inventory list—which proved invaluable for customs clearance. 3. Canada offers favorable tax exemptions for personal used items, but the inventory list must be detailed. Customs clearance takes about a week after arrival. Delivery requires advance scheduling and includes unpacking, moving upstairs, and taking away trash—basically no hands-on work needed. Translated with DeepL.com (free version)
