Does anyone know of a company here in Austin that offers international moving? I will be moving to Europe at the end of this month, and I have no idea where to even start. I want a container that I can just fill up with stuff, and then they ship it. Anyone know of something like that?

I went through this several years ago when I moved from Austin to the UK. IIRC all the international moving options seemed to originate from outside Austin and I used North American Van Lines out of San Antonio. The shipping container wasn't brought to my house, but instead they filled a regular van and then transferred at their place to the container. I also used their packers and a few of my things disappeared. I suspect one of the female packers ripped me off, though I can't be sure (a small sewing machine was among the disappeared items). They also totally f'd up the crating of several paintings -- they didn't manage to get the person out to my house to build the crates in time and had to take the paintings wrapped in blankets to their facilities and crate them there. There was some damage to a couple of paintings/frames as a result.

I'd suggest doing a google search and trying to find a company out of Houston.
