I have used ems a number of times. The service is very quick and takes between 3-5 days. They provide the box and the service to sew it up. It states the max weight is 20kg but for some reason they insisted that I put all of my stuff in and it came to 23.5kg. The price is fixed in rupiah so it does depend on exchange but this amount worked out to be a little under $9/kg. I have used a post office near the airport but its tricky to get to (but quiet). The taxi driver didnt know this one but took me to one in Kuta which was also quiet.There are shops which offer an ems service but they are acting as a go between you and the post office and charge for that service.
