as I get phonecalls from people whose stuff is at the wharf, and its going to cost $900 to get it off the wharf.Unfortunately by then its too late. If you dont want a full container, you need to go in a shared container.
Your $50 statue should only cost about $100 in total to get home.
One of the problems is people get in a taxi in Bali, the taxi driver says" I know someone it only cost $200 a cubic metre" and the customer doesnt realise the taxi drivers get commission from the cargo company, and the price doesnt include the port charges at the Australian end. Lots of people get caught with this.
