Dont want to be a nark but I read posts like this all the time on the forum. I am a regular visitor and touch wood havent been got yet but I think its because of my one bag policy which averages around 26-28kg. I'd also object to people getting away with excess when others are trying to do the right thing and be close to the limit.
I think its very clear how much baggage weight and pieces you are allowed when travelling to Bali so why when people are over it, or have heaps of bags, are they shocked they have to pay?????
If you have more than that allowance you pay, pretty simple really. Hotels have scales so you can weigh as you go. I usually have to stop shopping a couple of days before leaving as I've passed the allowance.
Your answer - dont buy as much, put it off to the next visit or pay to ship the heavier stuff home. If you had to pay US$400 you must have been way over, what did you expect?
