Indonesia

vPost

I am currently trialling the Singapore post reshipping service vPost, which reship from Indonesian merchants to Australia. UPDATE: It worked. Challenges:

1. At the Jakarta warehouse, my parcel went missing. I had to file a support ticket and give them the delivery information in order to find it (which they did, although it added a month to the delivery). Next time I will get on this quicker. Indonesian e-commerce sites are generally professional and diligent with documentation because of problems like this. You may, however, need to know Indonesian to access their customer service. Tidak terlalu buruk kalau sanggup.
2. The projected shipping time was way off (36 days late and the parcel could not be tracked in the interim).
3. Pro-tip: the Australian contact email address is UNATTENDED and will lead to unsatisfactory customer service if you believe it is real. Use the Singapore-based customer service form to avoid sadness.

Pricing was reasonable. AUD80 for 7 garments which are cheap in Indonesia and essentially unavailable in Australia.
