…by missing Christmas, I mean you’ve missed Indonesia Export’s Christmas deadline for production orders – if you have absolutely no idea what I’m talking about, the long-story-short is that if you started a production order with us now for shipping by sea, we can not guarantee you would have it in time for Christmas (you can read more details here: Production Deadline Christmas 2010).

We are Open for Business

This does not mean that everyone at Indonesia Export has downed tools and headed off to the beach for long, hot relaxing days in the sun (didn’t that sound tempting?)…

…if anything, it means we’re now busier.

From now until the end of the year, certain catalogue products are no longer available – these include teak furniture, the larger wood carvings, certain of the large stone pieces. This does not mean we’ll refuse your order; what will happen is that if you order those products, we’ll tell you we don’t have time for production but we do have time to go around Bali sourcing similar and alternative pieces from stock.

As you wish (bimsalabim, abracadabra, etcetera, etcetera.)

From this point of the year on, we treat everyone’s order as a wishlist and we limit production / preparation accordingly.

A wishlist is a list of product codes and quantities from our websites or pictures of products with quantities if you’re looking for something from outside our catalogue.

We call it a wishlist so you understand: you can’t always get what you wish for (but we’ll try our very best).

Our job is to go out and find you stock that’s ready to ship or nearly to ready; check pricing; take a photo; send you the pictures and confirm you’re ok with pricing before making the order.

For all Christmas orders, our target is to have your products arriving at your sea port (note: your port, not your door) by November 15th at the very latest. To Europe and the US we’re assuming 5 weeks container shipping from Bali (6 weeks LCL shipping).

So our last Less than Container Load orders will ship out by Friday October 1st.

Our last full container orders will ship out by October 8th.

If you’re not familiar with those shipping options, please go to our notes on shipping cost-effectively:

Shipping from Bali

All of this breaks down to the following:

• We are still open and you can still order products for Christmas.
• For items that require lengthy production lead time, we’ll go out and source alternatives in stock.
• We will do our best to see you get your products in good time but cannot guarantee you will receive your products in good time for Christmas.

If you have any questions, drop us a line.

All the best of the season,

Sean

We are planning on importing guitars from Bali to Montreal Canada, what do you recommend as method of shipping? we are planning to purchase 50 guitars at a time. air?sea?

Thank you,

Roger from Canada

The Answer:

Hi Roger,

LCL Sea Cargo, definitely. Yes you have to wait a long time and yes there is a greater risk of damage but guitars are light and bulky; you’ll get murdered on shipping charges trying to ship those by courier or air freight.

For more information, please take a look at:

By the way, I’m assuming you’re talking about full sized guitars… if you’re talking about miniature guitars, they may still be cost-effective by courier, Indonesian post (express and standard).

Sean

For Christmas, we advise you to add two more weeks…

…this means you can factor eight weeks total lead time from the day we start your order until we quality control the finished products, handle rejects, organise pieces to be serviced or replaced, label, and, finally, pack everything up ready to ship.

Buyers in Europe and the Americas can consider August 26th as the last minute of the eleventh hour in terms of production for a Christmas order:

You have 2 days left Christmas production is now over.

Enjoy (& Merry Xmas),

For one or two pieces, prices are basically unchanged but the average reduction across the line works out to be a very healthy 33% saving on last months list pricing with some pieces going down by nearly 60%.

I don’t often use exclamation marks but… HOLY COW! SIXTY PERCENT!!

We’re happy.
