The policy simply stated:
The flat rate charge for shipping, handling, and insurance will be $88.00
for shipment by UPS or FedEx (selected by SPI
Supplies) to all destinations in Indonesia, irrespective of the shipment's
weight or commercial value. But excluded would be any
shipment that contains any product(s) designated as being Dangerous Goods.
This would also mean that we can not ship under
this flat rate program any product identified as being 
.
This means that an order that consists of some
tweezers,
TEM grids,
Parafilm®,
and some embedding molds, could ship under
the flat rate program from SPI Supplies in the USA to any business address
in Indonesia (see important exception below). But if
your order contains as much as a single dangerous goods item (for example,
an SPI Easy Duster™), then it could not be shipped under this
program and would probably have to go via air freight.
Note that we can not ship under this program to addresses in Indonesia any
dangerous goods products designated as being .
And of course, such shipments would be subject to the special "cold ship"
charges should the shipment include a product that is
to be shipped refrigerated.
Exceptions:
Keep in mind the following exceptions to the above policy statement:
- Shipments containing dangerous goods that are not described as
are not covered by this program.
- Addresses not considered to be bona fide business addresses by the
carrier (e. g. FedEx or UPS) are subject to a residential address fee.
- The final arbiter as to whether an address is or is not a residential
address is the carrier, that is, UPS or FedEx. Generally speaking, if one
has sleeping accommodations at the address, or if the property is not
zoned for commercial use, the carrier designates such an address as a
"residential" address.
- This program does not apply to orders being paid for via Letter of Credit (L/C)
because one can not make shipments using the courier services when an L/C has to be executed.
The benefit to the customer:
Customers of SPI Supplies in Indonesia are able to estimate almost to the
penny the actual prepayment amount that will have to be
paid even if ordering from Indonesia to the USA. There is no need to waste
time getting a "quote" since all of the information
necessary to calculate a total CIF amount will be available to the customer
at the time the order is placed. So just decide what
you want to order, the fob prices are on the website, add $88.00 and that is
the total price to you (except of course for any
customs duties, VAT, and any other local taxes, if applicable, that are paid
on the buyer's end. Remember that this will "work"
only if there are no Dangerous Goods on the order. Some of our customers in
Indonesia have long requested a flat rate program
like this, and we offer it now in response to such customer requests.
Certainly this is saving customers in Indonesia considerable
money since they can buy direct. Let us know how the SPI Supplies flat rate
program works for you. Tell us how we can
improve on this innovative program for shipments to Indonesia. Indonesia
customers always have a friend in the USA when they
contact SPI Supplies!
