Shipping Guitars from Indonesia to Canada

The Question:

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

Stone Washbasins – Prices Cut… chiselled down… no, hammered.

We’ve managed to dramatically reduce pricing on most of our natural stone, marble and granite washbasins.

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%.

Albesia Wood Pelicans – Wholesale Woodcarvings from Bali

We have thousands — no kidding — of albesia wood sculptures in our catalogue – it’s a very popular medium for sculptors and crafters in Bali.

In it’s unfinished form, Albesia or Belalu wood [Albizia falcata] may be nothing much to look at – it’s a soft, light colored wood very much like balsa wood (though heavier) but where it shines is that it is always in good supply, it’s easy to carve and, because albesia is relatively inexpensive, it’s the wood of choice for painted carvings.

For the USA market, Pelicans and related bird and nautical theme wood carvings are always in demand.

See the whole range here:

Wholesale Albesia Wood Pelicans

You’ll also find a few more models in the following categories:

Birds…

Parasite Wood Carvings…

And, as usual, we can handle orders with custom paint jobs, sizes, postures and so on.
