My collegue repatriated back to the US earlier this year from Europe, and I'll be following shortly. I was stunned at how cheap it was (relatively speaking) to ship our things back.
The moving company brings a 40ft container to your house, and starts packing it up. Then it's right off to the port. It amazes me, perhaps more so than it should, that moving an entire household full of items across the ocean is so economical.

The biggest problem I had in moving back from Canada to NL was to pick up the container in Rotterdam harbor and to have it delivered at our house. The rest of the 6500 km journey was trivial.
