Moving from Australia to the UK – shipping personal belongings?

Hi everyone!
I’m planning to move from Australia to the UK next year, after living in Australia for nearly seven years, and I’m starting to look into the logistics of moving my belongings overseas.
For those who have made a similar move, how did you go about shipping your things from Australia to the UK?
I’ve accumulated a fair amount of belongings over the years, but I don’t have a full household of furniture – probably just one or two furniture pieces, along with clothes, shoes, personal belongings and various bits and pieces.
I’m hoping to find a relatively affordable option, as I’d ideally like to avoid spending a fortune on international shipping.
Would you recommend using an international removalist, shared container shipping, excess baggage, or another option?

I’d really appreciate hearing about your experiences, recommendations, approximate costs and any tips on companies to use (or avoid!).

Thanks so much! 😊
