Check Yellow Pages (.com) for freight and shipping companies. They will collect at your end, and are very reasonable if you can collect and process the customs paperwork yourself and then collect your boxes from the customs warehouse. That is what I did, and it involved a bit of f@rt!ng around at the airport (freight and customs side), but the cost for 2-3 trunks of my father's things after he died, was very reasonable. ..... I don't recall exactly how much, but I am from Yorkshire.
