After a few requests from different customers (old & new), we’ve taken some time to reorganise our Best Sellers category.
I hope you enjoy the new presentation — we’ve picked out our most popular categories and, even more importantly, when you click into that category, you’ll be shown only the best selling models in that particular line.
Some things to bear in mind:
Best Sellers are real products that we’ve shipped to real customers over the past twelve months from our catalogue pages. That means you won’t get a chance to see some of the custom work we’ve done and you won’t get a chance to judge the “unique products” — like the 5, 6 and 8 foot high suar statues and so on.
Another point: just because a product is a Best Seller, that doesn’t mean it’s best for you… it may sound obvious when I put it like that but, for sure, you’ll always be the best judge of your individual markets and customers.
That said, if you want our advice or feel that you could benefit from a brainstorming session, drop us a line — we’re happy to help in any way.
All of that said, I hope the new presentation gives you something to think about or at least helps clear a path into the catalogue.

If you were to take our price sheets in Excel format — no pictures, just codes, sizes, prices and so on — and set up the document to print, you would be looking at over 900 pages of densely packed type.
If you were to add even small images (thumbnails) to that document, you might be looking at 5,000 pages in all.
In the past 3 months, we’ve added nearly 3,000 products online (including substantial updates to popular categories).
To cut a long story short, we’re simply not kidding when we say that we have just too many products and too many updates to keep a print version of our catalogue up to date.
Over the past few weeks, we’ve spent a little time trying to come up with useful solutions and now, I’m happy to say, we’re able to offer you a full DVD version of our website.
Like the original, the DVD catalogue version of Indonesia Export has all the pricing and information. You can search through it exactly as if you were online.
We’ve even gone so far as to include a few extras:
- Additional product images from around Bali.
- The Excel spreadsheet version of all our pricing (in case you’re in the mood to print 900 pages).
- Traditional Balinese Music — hours of Balinese music in MP3 format.
- A freeware image viewer (Farstone) that is a lot more convenient and powerful than the image viewers built in with Windows.
Requirements
- PC Compatible Computer running Microsoft Windows (we’ve tested on XP only but should run with Windows 98, 2000, XP & Vista).
- A DVD drive on your laptop or computer (we would have liked to offer a CD but there’s simply too much information — nearly 3 Gigabytes in total).
That’s it.
Pricing
The DVD Catalogue is free for all our existing customers. You need only send us an email to confirm that you want the DVD and please confirm your mailing address. We’ll send the DVD out by standard post — it will take a week or so to reach you.
If you have not ordered from Indonesia Export but would like a copy of the DVD, there will be a charge of US$30.00 to cover expenses. If, after you receive the DVD, you decide to order from us, we’ll deduct that US$30.00 fee from your order.
Simple as that.
Please send an email to indonesiaexport@indonesiaexport.com for your copy.
Enjoy,
Sean

If you’re wondering where we’ve hidden all of our jewelry lines, you’ll need to take a quick hop over to our other domain: Beads-Bali.com.
We know that Jewelry Buyers do business very differently from handicraft and furniture buyers so here are some notes before you go:
Minimum Orders: we know that jewelry buyers aren’t likely to be buying container loads of silver beads out of Bali and we also know that because of the “fashion” aspect of jewelry, many people will need to sample products before making their investments — with that in mind, we’ve set minimum orders at US$100.00.
Beads-Bali is set up for small (usually courier) shipments — all shipping charges (including packing material and all the other extras) are included in the online prices. 
Just as with Indonesia Export, we’ll be happy to consolidate your shipments — meaning, if you are buying products from other companies in addition to our own, we will happily cooperate with them to get all the products together to make the whole thing one shipment thus, easier and more cost-effective for you.
Custom orders are welcome and will not be included in the online catalogue for other customers.
Beads-Bali carries the same guarantee as Indonesia Export: we guarantee all of our products — if there is a problem with your order because of an error on our part (of any kind), then we will assume responsibility and credit you in full against your next order or transfer back your payment.
In the event that there is a problem, we may ask you to return the products to us (we’ll pay the shipping fees) before we return your money or issue a credit against your next order.
Ok, I guess we’re all done with the serious stuff, enjoy the new catalogue:
