What this origin is on this lane
Door-to-door links three stages into one shipment: pickup and export at origin, Indonesian import clearance, and the final land leg from the port to the consignee. What it saves is not money but coordination cost — with a separate supplier per stage, problems always surface at the seams.
How cargo from this city actually moves
Plan each of the three stages: at origin work pickup and release backwards from cut-off and gate-opening figures, on the ocean leg take a band against current sailings, for clearance prepare documents to the destination port's rhythm, and for delivery confirm the radius and unloading conditions first. The responsibility boundaries of the three stages belong in the quotation: who picks up, who clears, who bears waiting and demurrage — fix it and nobody passes the buck.

Boundaries and liability (itemised in the quotation)
| Stage | Included / not included |
|---|---|
| Stage 1 · Pickup and export at origin | Worked backwards from cut-off and gate-opening figures; pickup, stuffing and release under one contact |

What this city typically ships
- Door-to-door factory replenishment and production materials
- Project supplies delivered to site
- Full-container replenishment for e-commerce and traders
- Equipment and spare parts delivered to plant
Three things to settle when booking
- Confirm the delivery radius first: beyond it is costed separately, so do not wait until the cargo lands to find the address is outside the service area.
- Ask about unloading conditions: is there a bay, is a forklift needed — missing equipment means hiring on site at extra cost.
- Fix waiting and demurrage in writing: who bears waiting, who bears container demurrage, both in the quotation so nobody passes the buck.
Lines to fix in the quotation
- Work cut-off and gate opening backwards from the sailing; hold the release note before the deadline
- List destination delivery as its own line and state door-to-door or port-to-port
- Confirm free time and free storage against the carrier's current terms and ask every overstay charge item by item
Frequently asked, standard answers
How much is 40HQ demurrage per day?
IDR 700,000–1,575,000 per day after free time (escalating bands, ≈USD 39–88).
How much is ocean freight from China to Indonesia per container?
Market-driven; request a live quote from the carrier (THC treatment as stated in the quotation).
How many days before sailing is the cut-off?
2-3 days before sailing.
How much more is door-to-door than port-to-port?
The difference is the final land leg plus coordination, costed on delivery distance and unloading conditions. We list it separately rather than hiding it in the total.
Which cities does delivery cover?
It follows the destination port's delivery radius. Send us the full address, we check once before quoting, and beyond the radius is costed separately.
Who pays if cargo waits too long at the port?
Waiting and demurrage liability is fixed in the quotation: who bears waiting, who bears container demurrage, agreed before shipping.

Next step
Confirm the delivery radius first: beyond it is costed separately, so do not wait until the cargo lands to find the address is outside the service area. Send us origin, destination, volume and weight and whether door delivery is needed. We return the load port, transit band and delivery radius against current sailings, plus the questions to settle.
