Shipping heavy items from the USA to Qatar

Hi all. Can someone please tell me how to ship heavy and bulky items from the States to Qatar? I know of Aramex Shop & Ship but their service is far too expensive for the items I have in mind (all of them over 50 lbs./23 kg. in weight). Most of them are relatively fragile (they would have to arrive in a reasonable condition, they're not glass but I wouldn't want them abused) and I don't really care too much about how long it would take. Thanks in advance :)

You can also try some shipping companies in US. I would think that they will be cheaper. You can ship half or full container from USA. I am planning to do the same from Dallas to Doha. It would cost around $5k for full container (40 ft) and $4k for half (20ft).
