Why The Name Chandicraft?
The word candi in Indonesian is
pronounced chandi and means House of the Divine. The kings and
queens were considered divine monarchs; living incarnations of Hindu
Gods and Goddesses. These monarchs were not only responsible for the
spiritual and physical well-being of the people but for cultural
and artistic advancement.
Customer
Policy
The quality of our handicrafts is closely monitored to ensure they are
crafted to the highest possible standard and are both
appealing and saleable. Chandicraft is dedicated to
customer satisfaction. To this end, customers are kept informed of the
progress of their orders through the use of digital photography. We will
endeavor to make your purchase process as smooth as possible, from ordering
to delivery.
Minimum Quantities
We don't really have
minimum quantities but the
stone carvings is not economical to ship in small quantities. Our usual load
is a mixed 20ft container, which keeps the freight costs to a minimal. It
would would be much cheaper to find a supplier in your country, than to ship
small quantities of large items. The minimum qty allowed for ocean freight
is 2 cubic meters, usually between
USD200.00- USD400.00 plus another USD150.00 for other costs like handling and
fumigation in Java and documents, plus dock charges, handling and customs
clearance in your
country.
The exceptions are:
Petrified wood as it has a very high
re-sale value. Up to 1000kg / 1 ton can be loaded per cubic meter, which
makes it economical. Ocean freight is usually around US$400.00 per
order to the U.S.A. Europe is usually less. Please e-mail us with the
items you are considering ordering and your closest large town or city
and we will tell you the cost for ocean freight to your location. The ocean
freight
is charged at cost, we do not add extra.
Important
- There will also be extra costs including port, handling, document, customs
clearance and transport charges in your country. If you only want to
purchase one or two tables it is cheaper to purchase from one of our
distributors.
Lava Beads are economical in small
quantities as they are relatively light and are posted airmail.
If you would like our wholesale pricelist FOB for 20ft. container please
