With shared containers, the shippers will wait until they have filled the container before shipping it. That's relying on finding someone else (one or more parties) who have the right amount of stuff to fill your leftover space. That's fine if you're filling up someone else's space and then getting shipped straight away. But if you're at the start of the process, you could be in for a wait. I have two sets of friends who have both shipped shared in the last year. One is getting their stuff this month after shipping in January - which is good going. The others took over 3-4 months to get theirs.
I would always go sole use from this perspective.
There are two of us and we've shipped the contents of a 3-bed house twice now and both times we filled a 20-foot container. We do seem to accumulate a lot of stuff along the way though!
