be the killer on big items. My container from October only arrived this week (had stuff made to order which had a lead time and then had trouble with blo ody Port furniture removalists - have since made other arrangements)and I had two largish statues. How they arrive is how Helga has them in the store with the wood around them. When you calculate it is around $400 per cubic metre (weight has no bearing), I can see that a lot of her price would be made up in freight alone, ditto furniture not to mention her on costs such as rent. With all the beautiful things in Bali though, it is a store that could be a lot better don't you think? Her accessory range is crap.
I'll post you when I get back, you can have a look at the statues I got and then if you like we can maybe work out roughly how much your freight alone might be. Otherwise, you might like to shop for yourself in October and I can arrange your freight for you?
Did you do your garden yourself or have a landscaper? Are your flags on bamboo?
