Moving back to Europe - shipping by boat

Hi,

We are going back to Europe after one year in Taipei. We would like to make a shipment by boat (the cheapest system I guess) of bulky objects (bicycles) and / or heavy (books, children's games). It would not be a complete move, but 3-4 boxes and a bicycle more or less.

Does anyone has the experience of a company that offers this kind of service for a reasonable price ?

Thank you in advance for your answer!

Try to share a container it can save you a lot.
Are you sure that shipping by ship is much cheaper with this amount of collies? You can try the airline where you want to fly with.

Shipping goods is better then we carry It along even though is expensive It can save the hurdle and it's common in Taiwan.
And beside air flight has the limits weight in baggage

Thanks everyone !

I think that for this relatively light freight, it's going to be better by regular post, but i still have to check UPS and TNT prices.
