have been doing the same info search as you... did a search through the archives and a few messages turned up... the average is $200US for the first cubic meter and $100Us for each one after. You will have to get it fumigated when it arrives in Oz, or get it done in Bali (cheaper) by a reputable agent... apparently the Oz quarantine guys can supply you with a list of bad operators, so steer clear of them or you will end up paying twice. I read somewhere that someone posted here that they bought an outdoor setting in Bali and shipped it, and by the time they got it back home they had paid about the same price as buying it in Oz, so you would have to be thinking of shipping more than just a single set of something before it became a cheaper option than buying from back home. I am planning to furnish my house, and will easily be able to fill a container, so it will be worthwhile for me.... I think!
