I have my bill in front of me sorry it is not from Bali Stone, but buy bali direct is similar. They deliver a container at least once a week to Sydney and when a container is full to Perth.
Transport= $300 a cubic square mitre discounted if you have lots eg; 0.37cm X 0.55cm X 0.94cm = 0.19129M3 X $290M3 = $55.50
10% for GST = $5.55
DUTY/TAX is 20% of what you paid(nothing saying you can't get a dud receipt here for tax, i didn't say that, maybe you are a super good bargainer) Let's say the product for $100 AUS, then TAX would be $20AUS
So total would be $55.50 SHIPPING $5.55 GST on shipping $20.00 DUTY AUSTRALIAN TAXES Total to get home would be $81.05.
Remember when you buy with buy bali driect then you pay for the goods as you buy or leave the money with Mrs Dewi(you get a recept)and when the container arrives and is released from customs/quarantine then you deposit into their bank accoutn and either go and pick up the goods from the warehouse or you can organise a price to have it delivered by the warehouse manager ;-)
Sorry to contradict you Fernandez but i have my bill in front of me i know it is a different company but hey that is what i was charged was i ripped off?
