Buying furniture from elsewhere; shipping it back to HK??

[morninglemon]

I'm interested in buying some antiques or interesting furniture when I travel to Bali and Australia. Does anyone know how I can get it shipped back to HK if the shop doesn't offer international delivery?? Has anyone done this or know anyone who has?

Most of the shops in Bali will offer shipping -- locals cant afford those exhorbitant prices.

If the shop does not offer shipping, move up the food chain and look for a factory or wholesaler. We know people who have bought half container / containers worth of furniture from them.

No clue about Australia .... they tend to be more fussy and given their local market worry less about shipping overseas than the Indonesian / Thai shops.
