Our Shipping Methods
Air Freight Shipping
Our fastest international shipping option, perfect for time-sensitive orders and urgent wholesale commitments. Air freight is ideal when you need your rattan bags quickly to meet customer demand or seasonal deadlines. We work with major international carriers including DHL, FedEx, and UPS to ensure expedited handling and tracking capabilities. This method is particularly popular among retailers launching new collections or responding to unexpected market opportunities. Air freight typically takes 3-7 business days depending on destination, with premium packaging included to protect your valuable inventory during transit.
Advantages include faster delivery times, reduced inventory holding costs, and reliable tracking from pickup to final delivery. We handle all customs documentation and coordinate directly with carriers to minimize delays. The investment in air freight often pays dividends through faster inventory turnover and the ability to capitalize on seasonal demand windows.
Sea Freight Shipping
Our most economical shipping solution, perfect for large wholesale orders where cost savings are a priority. Sea freight allows you to transport massive quantities of rattan bags at a fraction of air freight costs, making it ideal for retail chains and major distributors. We consolidate shipments when possible to provide even better rates on partial container loads. Sea freight typically takes 2-4 weeks depending on destination ports and routing, but the significant cost advantages make it attractive for planned inventory purchases.
Sea freight is particularly valuable for businesses with predictable seasonal demand cycles. We coordinate with established port partners in major international destinations to streamline customs clearance and reduce dwell time. Container options range from less-than-container loads (LCL) to full container loads (FCL), providing flexibility for different order sizes.
Express Courier Service
For smaller orders and sample shipments, our express courier partnerships with DHL, FedEx, and local Indonesian couriers ensure fast, reliable delivery to virtually any destination worldwide. This option is perfect for retailers ordering sample collections, testing new designs, or fulfilling urgent replacement requests. Express courier is also ideal for high-value shipments where insurance and tracking are essential. Most express shipments arrive within 4-10 business days with door-to-door service included.
Express courier provides comprehensive tracking, signature confirmation, and insurance options. This method eliminates the need to coordinate with freight forwarders or navigate port logistics, making it ideal for first-time importers or small volume orders. We handle all documentation and liaison with courier partners to ensure smooth processing.
Local Jakarta Distribution
Many wholesale customers prefer consolidating shipments at our Jakarta distribution center before arranging their own final delivery. This option provides maximum flexibility and cost control, allowing you to combine multiple orders or arrange regional distribution from a centralized location. Our Jakarta warehouse is strategically positioned for efficient redistribution to Southeast Asian markets and serves as a consolidation point for bulk shipments heading to other regions.
This flexible arrangement works well for trading companies, regional distributors, and retailers who have their own logistics partners. We provide secure storage, additional consolidation services, and can coordinate warehouse pickup or arrange onward shipping as needed. This option is particularly cost-effective for businesses that operate their own distribution networks.

Premium Packaging Standards
We believe that your rattan bags deserve packaging that reflects their quality and protects them throughout their journey. Every shipment is carefully packaged using materials specifically selected for durability, sustainability, and presentation. Our packaging approach balances protection with eco-consciousness, ensuring your products arrive pristine while minimizing environmental impact.
Individual Bag Protection
Each rattan bag is individually wrapped in tissue paper and placed in custom-fitted kraft boxes or sustainable packaging materials. This protects the delicate weaving and hardware from moisture, dust, and impact during transit. We include desiccant packets for shipments to humid climates to prevent mildew and moisture absorption. For premium orders, we offer luxury packaging with branded tissue, custom boxes, and protective padding. Each bag is inspected and cleaned before packaging to ensure it arrives in display-ready condition.
Carton Consolidation
Multiple individually packaged bags are consolidated into corrugated cartons with strategic padding and void fillers to prevent shifting during transit. We use recycled cardboard whenever possible and avoid excessive plastic materials. Cartons are sealed with security tape and labeled with handling instructions, weight information, and barcode tracking. For fragile or specialty orders, we reinforce cartons with additional protection layers and cushioning materials.
Container Preparation
For larger shipments using air or sea freight, cartons are palletized using sustainable materials and wrapped securely to prevent damage during loading and unloading. We use moisture barriers, corner protectors, and shrink wrap to ensure stability. Each pallet is clearly marked with destination information, handling instructions, and weight specifications. Container loading is done by experienced personnel following strict protocols to maximize space efficiency while ensuring product safety.
Real-Time Tracking & Shipment Visibility
Transparency is essential in wholesale logistics. Upon shipment, you’ll receive detailed tracking information including carrier tracking numbers, estimated delivery dates, and real-time location updates. Our system provides visibility at every stage: order confirmation, production completion, pre-shipment inspection, carrier pickup, and final delivery. For major wholesale orders, we offer dedicated account managers who provide regular updates and can quickly address any logistics concerns.
You can track your shipment through carrier websites (DHL, FedEx, UPS) or request updates directly from our logistics team. We provide documentation including packing lists, commercial invoices, and bill of lading information. For air freight and express courier shipments, you’ll have access to real-time tracking showing exact location and estimated delivery. Sea freight shipments include container numbers, vessel information, and port arrival/departure details.
Our team proactively monitors all shipments and will notify you immediately of any delays or unexpected issues. We maintain relationships with carriers that allow us to expedite processing through ports and coordinate with customs brokers when necessary. Should any issues arise with delivery, our logistics specialists work immediately to resolve them and keep you informed throughout the process.
Customs, Duties & Import Information
International import regulations vary by destination country. We handle all export documentation from Indonesia including commercial invoices, packing lists, certificates of origin, and export permits as required. Our team is experienced in properly declaring product values and types to ensure smooth customs clearance and minimize delays.
Import duties and taxes are typically the responsibility of the importing country and the recipient. These fees vary significantly based on your destination, product classification, and bilateral trade agreements. We provide accurate product descriptions and valuations to help calculate potential duties, but we recommend consulting with a customs broker or freight forwarder in your country for precise estimates. Duties are calculated on the declared value of goods and must be paid before customs release in most countries.
For shipments to certain countries, we can arrange for door-to-door service where the shipping carrier handles customs clearance, with duties payable upon delivery. This simplifies the process for retailers unfamiliar with import procedures. We also facilitate coordination with customs brokers if you prefer professional customs clearance assistance. Our experience with rattan goods classification ensures proper HS coding to minimize customs issues. All our documentation is comprehensive and accurate, supporting smooth customs processing in virtually every destination market.
Shipment Insurance Options
We offer comprehensive insurance options to protect your investment in case of loss or damage during transit. Insurance coverage is particularly valuable for high-value wholesale shipments, sample collections, and orders destined for regions with known logistics challenges. Our insurance partners provide worldwide coverage with reasonable premiums calculated as a percentage of declared shipment value.
Standard all-risk insurance covers loss and damage from virtually all causes except for explicitly excluded items (typically items damaged due to inadequate packaging or customer-caused damage). The insurance premium is typically 1-3% of shipment value depending on destination and coverage level. For standard rattan bags with proper packaging, claims are rare, making insurance a cost-effective risk management strategy.
We can arrange insurance automatically on your shipments, adding the premium to your invoice, or you can arrange coverage independently through your own insurance broker. All insured shipments include detailed documentation of contents and declared values. In the event of damage or loss, proper documentation and photographs are essential for claims processing. Our team assists with claim preparation and liaison with insurance providers to expedite resolution.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the minimum order quantity for wholesale shipping?
We ship orders of any size, from single sample bags to full container loads. However, shipping costs become more economical with larger quantities. For single bags or very small orders, express courier is recommended. For orders of 100+ pieces, sea freight or air freight consolidation offers better value. Contact us to discuss the most cost-effective shipping option for your order size.
How do I know when my shipment has been dispatched?
You’ll receive an email notification immediately when your shipment leaves our warehouse, including detailed tracking information. For air and express shipments, you’ll receive carrier tracking numbers within hours. For sea freight, you’ll receive container numbers and vessel details within 1-2 business days. You can then track your shipment in real-time through carrier websites or request updates from our logistics team anytime.
Are your packages waterproof and weatherproof?
Our primary packaging materials (kraft boxes and corrugated cartons) provide good protection against weather, but are not completely waterproof in extreme conditions. For shipments to tropical climates or regions with monsoon seasons, we recommend purchasing shipment insurance. We also include desiccant packets to prevent moisture absorption. For shipments that require enhanced waterproofing, we can apply additional plastic wrapping at minimal cost. Discuss this requirement when placing your order.
Can I consolidate multiple orders into one shipment?
Absolutely. We can consolidate multiple orders if they’re being shipped to the same destination, resulting in significant cost savings. We can hold orders for up to 30 days to allow consolidation, or arrange for multiple shipments to be consolidated at our Jakarta distribution center for later dispatch. Consolidation works particularly well for sea freight, where combining shipments can reduce per-unit costs substantially. Discuss consolidation options when placing your order.
What happens if my shipment is damaged in transit?
If damage occurs despite our protective packaging and shipping partner protocols, we have a comprehensive response process. For insured shipments, the insurance provider covers the loss. For uninsured shipments, we work with carriers to process damage claims based on photographic evidence. We recommend taking photos of packaging upon delivery if damage is suspected. Our team assists with claim documentation and will arrange replacement shipment or refund as appropriate. This is rare with our packaging standards, but we stand behind all shipments.
Do you offer carbon offset or eco-friendly shipping options?
Sea freight inherently has lower carbon emissions per unit compared to air freight, making it the most environmentally responsible shipping option for non-urgent orders. We also use sustainable packaging materials (recycled cardboard, minimal plastic) in all shipments. Several of our carrier partners offer carbon offset programs where you can purchase offsets to neutralize shipping emissions. We can coordinate carbon offset purchases with your order. Discuss sustainability preferences when placing your order.
How are shipping costs calculated and invoiced?
Shipping costs depend on several factors: destination country, order weight and dimensions, shipping method (air/sea/courier), and any additional services (insurance, consolidation, special packaging). We provide detailed shipping quotes before confirming orders, itemizing each cost component. Shipping is invoiced separately from product costs for clarity. For ongoing wholesale relationships, we negotiate volume-based shipping rates and invoice shipping monthly based on actual carrier charges, eliminating markup and providing transparency.
What documentation do I need to clear customs in my country?
We provide all standard export documentation: commercial invoices, packing lists, and certificates of origin. Most countries accept this documentation for customs clearance. Some countries may require additional certifications (phytosanitary certificates for certain materials, safety certifications for items with hardware). We’ll advise which documents your destination requires and arrange any necessary certifications. For complex import situations, we recommend consulting a customs broker in your country who can provide specific guidance for your jurisdiction.
