Can't get no luck.

What are you putting in it? Are you moving?

Here's my experience doing that:

My wife and I moved from the UK to Canada. I basically googled like "International removals" or something and got a few quotes from companies. We picked one, and they came to our house and helped us pack up, took the stuff away in a van and loaded it into a shipping container. It went onto a boat which then went to Germany for some reason, the container was moved there to another boat which went to Canada.

Once it arrived (around 3 months later), another local company brought the container to our new place on the back of a truck, and unloaded the boxes into our place.

At the time, I think it cost us about £4000, but this was in 2019 so I don't know what's happened to prices since then.

This site says up to $7k for a 40ft container but of course it all depends where you're shipping to.

But yeah basically you contact a company and they should mostly be able to do the delivery "door to door", or you can deliver it yourself to a port and/or have your own people pick it up at another port I'm pretty sure.
