In Reply to: Container? posted by BaliMum2one on Monday, 16. February 2009 at 14:29 Bali Time:
My container was arranged with an Indonesian company called Rim Cargo. They were very efficient & reliable. Like you I had many questions & found them forthcoming with information prior to the start of the whole process, as well as throughout.
May I suggest you view their website: www.rimcargo.com
The website will show current container costs dependant on destination, as well as other related (extra & unavoidable) fees. Packing costs are also relevant & dependant on the type of goods you wish to import. (Refer to "Shipping Rates" on website).
Price is per container, not based on weight.
You will also need to contact a "Freight Forwarder" from your destination end to be advised on further costs & discuss the processing of the container on it's arrival.
The whole process can be rather complicated for we novices & I am by no means an authority on the process. There are others on this forum who import regularly & may be more helpful.
If you do a 'search' on this forum (see top of page) you will probably pickup a lot of (conflicting/confusing but possibly helpful) info.
Good-luck!
