well, its like eating chicken rice.... got $20 one and $1 one. but which one is cheap and good? of course someone who has used the service before will be able to tell.

 

FYI, freight via DHL, damage about $400 for a 25kg box.

[Slowmo]

their rates are just slightly cheaper than the fedex/ups/dhl.... looking for other alternatives... thanks.

I doubt u'll find one that's cheap since it's priced according to weight. It'll be more or less the same.

You want cheap and good.... go for surface mail. Airmail is like that one... heavy = expensive... bo bian

I am thinking of importing some stuffs from Indonesia. I might consider bringing them in bulk.

 

The items are typically classical guitars or handicraft items. Can anyone please kindly advise on the procedures (e.g. custom clearance on both sides/freight charges and tax)?

What are the fee/rates like?

 

Is there any other things I might miss out? Is there any website I can get useful information?

 

Thanks.

hmm just my few cents worth, if you arer importing stuff from indonesia, you shd get your contact at the other side to ship the items over, then the company will contact you on the details of the collection , and the company will be the one going thru all the procedures however any charges incurred locally wil be borne by you which they will brief you
