The shipping chaos from Indonesia seems to be slowly coming to an end! All shipping methods (standard, express and sea freight shipping) are now possible again to Asia and North America. Standard shipping up to 2 kg and EMS have been permitted again to Europe!
In March 2020, PosIndonesia almost completely stopped sending mail! From this point on, only express shipping was possible. A simple letter then cost the equivalent of €26.00 to send. Now things seem to be slowly returning to normal. Unfortunately, as usual, Europe is lagging behind. All shipping methods are now working again to Asia and North America. Standard shipping up to 2 kg has now been permitted to Europe. There are cheaper express solutions via EMS for larger packages!
When the cost-effective parcel shipping alternative of sea freight to Germany will be possible again seems to be up to Deutsche Post! PosIndonesia seems to be ready to resume this shipping method to Germany and Europe at any time!
How much does shipping from Indonesia to Germany currently cost?
In addition to weight, shipping costs are determined by a circumference formula. The formula is:
L × W × H / 5,000
A package with the circumference dimensions L: 30 cm x W: 15 cm and the height 10 cm then results in 0.9 using the formula! Even if the package only weighs 500g, the shipping costs would be calculated for 1 kg! Conversely, if this package contained items weighing 1.5 kg, the weight would determine the shipping costs. So whatever value is higher determines the weight used for the calculation!
Furthermore, the shipping costs depend on the current exchange rate and change by a few cents every day!

Weight price changes are adjusted in 500 gram increments! You can also see from the 2 kg calculation that there is still a lot going on. Here express shipping is cheaper than standard shipping! These prices should adjust again in the near future!
The delivery time for standard shipping is approx. 1-3 weeks (+/-) and for express shipping it is 5-10 working days!
