In Reply to: Container details posted by lisa on Tuesday, 15. March 2005 at 10:59 Bali Time:
Trish Ryder is your lady here in Perth to help with items to be sent by shipping containers from Bali.
She actually contacted me through this forum and we went from there.
She is located in Osborne Park and charges on a per cubic metre basis.
Rather than give out her phone number, please email me and I can send to you:

On the East coast, Harry Kellerman also offers this service and we met him in Legian. He will also help to source items if you have an image that you are looking for and he doesn't charge a commission, so is great to use for finding that special piece from Bali.
I don't have Harry's mobile here at the moment, I left them at home, so will send details later. You can text him direct for his pricings or perhaps someone else who has used him previously has other contact details handy for him!
I am not sure about shipping to NZ, however I am told that wherever you go, if you do not have a full container, there are many agents in Bali who will quote you a very low price for freight, but when you return, at your home port you can be charged with hidden extras and have to find your own agent at this end to deal with customs etc. So using Trish or Harry reduces the hassle at our end and you only are charged for the space taken up by your purchases.
Hope that helps with a little more information - there are so many beautiful things to buy in Bali, that it is hard to resist not trying to send them home!
cheers,
Caroline
