Many westerners visit Bali and purchase large items that need to be shipped back home. Shipping furniture and art from Bali to the U.S., UK, or Australia is not impossible but requires some diligence on your part. You have several options when shipping from Bali:
Shipping from Bali using a cargo company:
Cargo companies are professionals at shipping from Bali to locations overseas. These companies pack all of your furniture, art, and other large items. They should also include a shipping list and bill of lading so that you can reclaim your goods in your home country without any customs trouble.
One shipping company in Jimbaran, Ritra Cargo, will ship goods to the U.S. and other international destinations.
Ritra Cargo Address:
Jl. By Pass Ngurah Rai, 168X
Kedonganan 80364 Jimbaran
INDONESIA
Rita Cargo Phone: (0361) 702240
Shipping from Bali via the store where you purchased the items:
If you don’t want to deal with a cargo company, you can try shipping goods from Bali through the store where you made the purchase. Make sure that they pack the items well. Also make sure you get a shipping list and bill of landing from the store, as you will need them to pick up your goods and clear customs when they arrive in your home country.
Cost of Shipping from Bali:
The cost of shipping goods from Bali to your home country will be assessed by cubic meter. There are also customs duties to keep in mind, and other fees depending on which country you are shipping to.
What is the currency of Bali?
Bali’s currency is the same as the Indonesian currency, the rupiah (abbr: Rp.). The Indonesian rupiah notes come in denominations of 100,000, 50,000, 20,000, 10,000, 5,000, 1,000, 500 and 100. Indonesian rupiah coins come in denominations of 1,000, 500, 200, 100, and 50.
Mount Agung or Gunung Agung in Bali is the highest mountain on the island of Bali. Mount Agung is an active volcano which last erupted in the 1960’s.
People visiting Bali can enjoy climbing Mount Agung in Bali via two different routes: one route up Mount Agung starts at Besakih and the other route starts at Pura Pasar Agung, near Selat.
Guides for Mount Agung are available, although it is not required.
Climbing Mount Agung takes anywhere from four or five hours to two days depending on where you start and at what pace you climb.
