Sorry I will try and clarify what i said.
Yes we used Harry's shipping company BUY BALI DIRECT. Can't tell you exact prices as still awaiting our bill which should come any minute i guess now it has arrived. You pay by the cubic Sq metre and only pay for the room it uses.
We bought many concrete statues and a few boxes full of stuff(shopping) and also a small suitcase(We off loaded this onto Harry after the airport tried to hit us $150US$ it weighted 10.6 kilos) we even have 4 of those triangle pillow mattress's and even a Bali HUT(this was made and inspected while we was in Bali), we have 2 vases(large). Harry took us shopping over a couple of days we paid him but it was cheaper than using a bemo driver + we got off the prices Harry's commission we saw this happen we got 30% off marked prices at the concrete and hut place + I bargained a little. (bemo drivers say they don't get commission but go back the next day when you are not there and they do get commission)You only pay for the space not the weight ;-) hence the reason why we got heavy stuff send home this way.
In future i will get boxes off Harry and fill as i shop and take them to him on our last or 2nd last day, there is no way i am ever paying excess again as it is too expensive and let's face it you can buy 20 kilos in 1 day in Bali. It is a little hard to walk around bali with your hands in your pockets, I am good for the Bali economy ;-)
