Buying and Shipping Agents in Bali
Since 1986 Graven Image has been commited to the development and production of Indonesian products.
Our history is grounded in exhibiting
products through international trade shows. We can meet the requirements of retailers, wholesalers, interior designers,
hoteliers, charitable trusts and private buyers.
Although Indonesia has an excellent resource of raw materials and crafts people to match, unfortunately local manufacturers often have little or no "benchmarks" of the standards required to insure the exporting of reliable quality products. Graven Image insures that only merchantable standards of quality are applied.
Understanding your needs...
Each buyer has a different strategy, our approach is to try to place ourselves inside each buyers requirements.
During the quality controlling we make sure that everything fits to the buyers order, we check for the correct specification, price, paint finish, even the required electric plug fitting, we test everything before shipping. With over twenty years of experience our superior quality service means a superior quality product.

The quality controlling
We periodically follow up the progress of the order with the suppliers. The quality controlling willl be processed once your order has been completed
This is one of the most important functions we perform. We apply the same standards of quality control to all products.
The packing & shipping
Graven Image's responsibility is to insure that the orders are completed on time and that the each product is counted, documented and then carefully packed. Great efforts are made into insuring the most efficient maximum space is utilized. Our shipping logistic begins even before the order has been placed.
Once we have received your initial order, our shipping department will need to calculate a volume assesment in order to determine how much space will be required to ship your order. The assesment further enables the buyer to finalise their order according to their budgets and to insure the order will fit precisely to a container size.
During the packing preparation careful consideration needs to go into mixing the larger bulky items with the smaller handicraft items. For example, where possible products are packed inside other products.
Finally, within a matter of weeks after your shipment has departed, we will send to you by courier all the relevant shipping documentation required for clearing with customs and excise.
