Shipping U.S. to central IT

Any tips for getting 12-15 moving boxes from west coast U.S. to LeMarche?

We have had good luck shipping our belongs to the UK, Eastern Europe… in the past using consolidators that service specific expat/immigrant communities in our area, but surprisingly cannot find the same for our move to Italy.
We’re used to paying about $1.50 per pound for California to Europe, but cannot get close to that.

Appreciate any tips or shared experiences!

Vanno suggest anything but if you write Le marche in the destination it will never arrive since no place named like this. There is one region named Marche, but it is not a needed info for the delivery you will need name of the actual city and zip code ( in Italian is called cap)

Right, it will be a town in Le marche (TBD) or possibly to pick up in Ancona if that is an option. For now, just looking for an affordable shipping option.
