I have gathered my info and is as follows.
We bought a hand carved table lamp and shade, a 1 metre tall woven cylindrical type lamp, a black stone buddah approx 1.3 metres tall,
2 X easter island type heads in Lombok stone, each around 1.4 metres tall , small balinese stone boy in ceremonial dress and small balinese stone girl with frangipani in her hair, small buddah, 2 sets of 2 heavy wooden carved jugs.
We bought these goodies at various places in Bali and Bali bargain hunters collected them from various stonemasons etc. Cost before shipping just under $500 aust. dollars.
1.54 metres before boxing, 2.07 cubic metres after packaging and boxing.
Total price of freight $598.60 to Taren Point in Sydney.
This included freight, duty , GST and pesticide spraying.
Everything arrived in one piece and it was fantastic to unpack and remember our holiday and the little pieces of Bali that we brought home with us. The black stone buddah is in the garden at our front door under a pink frangipani tree and each morning I put a fallen flower in her hand. The big heads are in our pool area and if I can get the other half to buy bamboo long enough I can include my 10 Balinese flags in the theme.
Highly reccomend Bali bargain hunters. We got prices from 2 other freight companies in Bali and they were the best.
