Overseas shipping suggestions?

We will be moving from America to Scotland but I can't find any threads here that aren't a couple years old. We have 2 kids and we simply have a certain amount of furniture needed when we get there, and its cheaper to ship than to replace everything so don't tell me to just get rid of everything and show up with just a suitcase. We can do without for a couple weeks so thats not an issue.

Has anyone used an lcl or fcl shipping company of some kind recently? Im looking for most affordable, even if it means we have to put in a little elbow grease, but depending on cost pick up and drop would definitely be handy. Just looking for the best overall option I suppose. Has anyone had a good or bad experience with over seas shipping? Thanks!
