Ordering handcrafted furniture from another country is a different experience from buying mass-produced furniture in a local store. We understand that placing an international order requires confidence and transparency.
That's why every BaliSouk order follows a structured production and logistics process, with regular updates, detailed inspections and complete documentation.
From production to final shipment, you'll always know exactly where your furniture is and what happens next.
Step 1
The moment your order is confirmed, you'll receive a detailed confirmation email summarizing your purchase.
Your confirmation includes your ordered products, production timeline, shipping method and all important information regarding the next stages of your order.
Our team immediately schedules your project with our artisan workshops so production can begin.
Step 2
Every BaliSouk product is handcrafted specifically for your order.
Unlike mass-produced furniture, nothing sits in a warehouse waiting to be shipped. Our artisans begin creating your furniture only after your order has been confirmed.
Depending on the complexity of your project, production generally takes between 4 and 8 weeks.
Each piece is individually crafted, assembled, sanded and finished by experienced Indonesian craftsmen using traditional woodworking techniques.
Step 3
Once production is completed, your furniture is transferred to our dedicated Quality Control & Inspection Warehouse.
This is one of the most important stages of our process.
Every product is carefully inspected before shipping.
Our team verifies:
We also produce detailed photos and videos so you can personally inspect your furniture before it leaves Bali.
This gives you complete visibility and confidence before international shipping begins.
Step 4
Once your quality inspection is completed, your furniture is transferred to our logistics warehouse for professional export packing.
Every item is carefully protected according to its size, shape, material and level of fragility before international shipping.
Depending on the product, our packing process may include:
Our logistics team carefully secures each piece to reduce movement and protect exposed surfaces, corners and structural elements during transportation.
Photos and videos of the packing process are also documented and shared with you, so you can see exactly how your furniture has been prepared before shipment.
Step 5
Before your shipment leaves Indonesia, our logistics team prepares all export documentation required for international transportation.
Depending on your destination, your shipment may include:
All documents are shared with you before arrival whenever applicable.
Step 6
Every customer receives access to a private Google Drive folder dedicated to their order.
This folder brings together all the key visual updates and documents related to your project in one secure and easily accessible place.
Your dedicated folder may include:
You can access your folder at any time and review the progress of your order wherever you are in the world.
Every customer receives a private Google Drive folder containing production photos, inspection videos, packing updates and applicable export documents.
Step 7
Once all inspections have been completed and export documents are finalized, your shipment leaves Bali and begins its international journey.
Depending on your destination, ocean freight usually takes between 3 and 8 weeks.
During transportation, our logistics team remains available to answer your questions and provide shipping updates whenever necessary.
Communication and transparency are at the heart of the BaliSouk experience.
From the moment your order is confirmed and throughout the international shipping process, our team remains available to assist you and keep you informed throughout the entire journey.
You will receive regular updates at the key milestones of your order, including production, quality inspection, professional packing, shipping documentation and dispatch.
Whenever important visual updates are available, photos, videos and relevant documents are also shared with you through your dedicated private Google Drive folder.
And you never need to wait for an update if you have a question.
Our team remains available throughout your project by email, WhatsApp and live chat. Whether you would like an update on production, need clarification about shipping, or simply want to speak with us about your order, you are always welcome to contact us.
Our approach is built around complete visibility and personal support:
We don't simply manufacture your furniture and ship it.
We accompany you throughout the entire process.

Ocean freight generally takes approximately 3 to 8 weeks depending on the destination, shipping route, port connections, carrier schedules, customs procedures, and other logistics conditions outside BaliSouk's direct control.
Shipping information is provided according to the transport method used for your order. For sea freight, the available tracking information typically relates to the international shipment or container rather than individual furniture pieces.

Customs duties, taxes, port charges, destination handling fees, storage charges, and other local costs depend on the destination country, port, local authorities, shipping arrangement, and appointed destination agent. These charges can vary significantly and are generally outside BaliSouk's control unless explicitly included in your quotation.

Your furniture is handcrafted to order, professionally inspected, documented with photos and videos, carefully packed for export, supported by the applicable shipping documents, and followed by our team throughout its international journey. The goal is to give you confidence and transparency from order confirmation to delivery.
