Shipping
LCL – Less than Container Load – this means that goods are crated in specially designed wooden crates, made and measured for the size of your goods. LCL shipments have some risks, particularly with goods that are regarded as fragile. Goods from Bali are packed and loaded in Bali, unloaded in Java, reloaded and unloaded in Singapore and unloaded at destination.
LCL shipments have frequent handlings and thus, we do suggest all customer to take insurance on all shipment to cover against damage during transit. Insurance is charged at 2% on the value of the goods.
LCL shipments have some restrictions particularly for Australia. Shipments involving specialized fumigation, such as Ethylene Oxide cannot be sent to Australia. These such shipments must be sent as FULL CONTAINER LOAD.
FCL – Full container load is available in 20ft (30cbm), 40ft (60cbm), 40ft high cube (70cbm) Shipments sent FCL are loaded in Bali and unloaded at the destination, hence there is considerable less handling and moving of the goods. FCL shipments are more cost effective than sending anything more than 13cmb as LCL. Local clearance charges are charged per container or per cubic meter. Once 13 or more, it is often more economical to send FCL.
The average shipping time to Australia for example is approximately four weeks, while shipping to America and Europe is four to six weeks. It all depends on the regularity and availability of shipping lines.
How much does the shipping cost?
Packing and shipping quotations are provided to you at the beginning of the order process. A separate pickup, packing and sea freight quotation is always provided to you.
How do I know my goods won’t get damaged?
FCL or Full Container Load shipping is always the safest way to transport your goods. All items are securely wrapped in cardboard sheet packing material. More delicate items are boxed, and then packed into wooden crates. We use polystyrene sheets and foam where needed to ensure all travels well. We rarely have any issues with glass or stone breaking. Also, humidity desiccants are hung in the container to absorb as much moisture build up as possible during the journey.
