they have been fine. One time I used them and thought my bags were overwieght so they ran off to wiegh them and then started to empty stuff into a plastic bag for me....so funny. I took their photo and delivered it next trip.
Some have harrassed me but I have come to realise they are just trying to make a dismal living and so I just say no thanks and they walk away if don't need them..
5000 rp a bag is under $1 and it sure saves me alot of bother especially if I am on my own.
Nowdays if you pay VOA in Australian dollars you will get change in rupiah and theres your porter money.Easy as.
