Cheapest way to ship belongings back to Europe?
We have decided to return to France and I'm really struggling to find the best way to ship our stuff. We used excess Baggage both times we came out here but I can't find an equivalent to get us back. We dont' want to take furniture etc so it will only be small freezer, dishwasher adn around 50 boxes.
We are in Hervey Bay (north of Brissie) so coudl hire a van to get stuff to the port. We have even talked about buying a container (I think this will be too hard though) OR a big trailer and filling that.
Has anyone got any thoughts / ideas or suggestions please??

For interest for sakes, I've had a quote for 5m3 for $1490 from Maroochydore (so we'd have to run it down in a van) to port at Le Harve. I'm thinking this is pretty good???? Or is it not? Compared to the $14,000 I heard a friend payed for 2 40ft containers I think it is OK???
