We want to make our clients aware, that they can waste lots of money by shipping their merchandise due to lack of information or lack of sufficient funds to order larger quantities.
There are 5 ways to ship your order from Bali to you:
1. 20ft. Container (30 cubic meters)
2. 40ft. Container (60 cubic meters)
3. 40ft. High Cube Container (72 cubic meters)
4. LCL Sea Cargo (less than a container – charged per cubic meter)
5. Air Cargo
LCL and Full Container Load (FCL) ( recommended, because more effectively cost )
The enclosed steel containers are available in 2 sizes 20 ft, 40 ft, and 40 ft jumbo, provide the customer with loading space of 30, 60, 72 Cubic Meters respectively, or roughly 300, 600, 720 normal size shipping boxes.
This type is the most commonly used in the cargo field. The Advantages of using the enclosed container are product protection and safety and allowing the most economical use of space.
Less Container Load (LCL)
This service is dedicated to those shipments whose space is insufficient to fill a 20 ft container. Shipments are individually crated and consolidated on freight carries bound for the intended destination. L.C.L. loads are appropriate for sending smaller shipments, samples, gifts, and personal items. Orders less than a container volume are calculated by the cubic meter. Please contact us for more information regarding shipments of less than a container volume.
Air Freight
Air Freight is the fastest way to ship, but also the most expensive one.
Cargo does charge by the kilo, but in addition, also by volume, whichever happens, to be greatest. A standard carton box is 50 x 58 x 33 cm (20 x 23 x 13 inches). According to the cargo calculation, that carton’s volume is equal to about 15 kilos. If there are less than 15 kilos of product in that carton box, then you still will pay for 15 kilos. If there are more than 15 kilos, you pay the greater amount. Let’s say the air cargo rate for you is about $4.00 per kilo which means that the carton costs you in cargo expense at least $60.00. In some cases, you will have paid more for the cargo than you paid us for the handicraft.
