from my previous post re EMS option..
EMS (Express Mail service)Indonesian Post is one option.
http://ems.posindonesia.co.id
Used this service last month.
Took 6 days from leaving Bali to arrive at my door (country town) in WA.
You can track it online through their website.
Express post from the post offices will cost around 1.3m - 1.6m per 20kg box (depending which post office)
Ours was 1.4m per 20kg box.
The place we used is in Jln/Gang Pattimura on the left hand side about 20 m from Jln Legian (near the phone shop)
Jln Patimura is off Legian St heading south and Jln Benesari is to the right.
EMS is by air, door to door, takes up to a week ,maximum of 20 kgs per box & includes insurance.
The post office sights what is to be packed, they pack it for you (and provide the box).
They then cover the box, sew the covering together and label it.
They will not accept DVD's, CD's etc as these are confiscated at customs.
You will have to fill in a declaration stating the goods inside, value etc which is attached to the box
Depending on the value of the goods tax may be payable by you once it arrives at customs & before they release it.

Our boxes had not been opened, went via Sydney, then Perth & then trucked to country town.
Items can also be sent sea mail which is cheaper but takes longer.
