What actually decides this lane
Inter-island appliances and furniture belongs to the inter-island books, not the cross-border container books: Sumatra, Bali / NTB / NTT, Sulawesi, outbound 5–10 days, 5–12 days, 4–7 days and return 7–14 days (estimated), 8–16 days (estimated), 10–19 days (observed, high variance). Neither the billing unit nor the minimum volume carries across from one to the other.
How this shipment moves
These three breed disputes, and delivery must be a separate line or it returns as a surcharge. Pin the billing unit for Inter-island appliances and furniture onto the quote: per CBM or per kg, how W/M compares, and the minimum volume.
How this page's basis is used
For Inter-island appliances and furniture read the region first: Sumatra, Bali / NTB / NTT, Sulawesi. Outbound bands run 5–10 days, 5–12 days, 4–7 days and return bands 7–14 days (estimated), 8–16 days (estimated), 10–19 days (observed, high variance); waiting is not inside them and is added separately on low-frequency lanes, which is why identical cargo over an identical distance can differ by days.
The three mistakes this lane punishes hardest
- Leaving the billing unit loose on Inter-island appliances and furniture invites a dispute — CBM versus kg and W/M comparison vary by operator.
- Show delivery as its own line for Inter-island appliances and furniture; otherwise expect an extra charge after arrival.
- Do not apply cross-border container rates to Inter-island appliances and furniture — inter-island LCL, international sea freight and local trucking are three systems.
