Any suggestion for company that do moving household items (chair/bookshelf/boxes/kitchen appliances) from Australia?
I would think it will be transported by sea for cheaper price.

This. No way I'd take furniture or appliances unless it's very sentimental, even then I'd just gift it to family if it's really nice.
When I relocated last I sold all my furniture and bought back personal items, guitars and clothing (even then I donated a lot of cheaper stuff, kept my suits and such) by paying for a tonne of extra baggage on my flight. It was nice to move into a new place and buy furniture that suited it on arrival instead. Much quicker than waiting for it to all arrive via boat.
I could see having some really expensive artwork, antique furniture and the like that aren't replaceable, but appliances? Even if it's a super expensive coffee machine there's plenty of people who buy those second hand.
Depending on where your belongings are going, and how much you are sending it could easily take up to 4 months by sea to arrive at the destination.
If you're not coming back in the foreseeable/near future consider selling or giving it all away and buy new when you arrive.

Unless your destination has the same voltage, sell it.
I've used seven seas worldwide. Cheap and their phone support was good. Just make sure not to overpack boxes, fill in all documentation, and check the requirements on the other side so you don't get stung with import charges.
Unless you've got family heirloom items, depending on where you're moving it's generally cheaper selling it all and buying new when you get there.
Prices to move sea cargo are at record highs. Big companies are letting stock sit in warehouses cos it's too expensive, e.g. 30ft container china to US was approx 3k, now up to 20k.
Def better off buying again in new country.
where are u going
pretty sure its cheaper to sell here and buy over there!
unless that chair has sentimental value!
