What actually decides this lane
Inter-island household moving belongs to the inter-island books, not the cross-border container books: Sumatra, Kalimantan, Bali / NTB / NTT, outbound 5–10 days, 7–12 days, 5–12 days and return 7–14 days (estimated), 10–16 days (estimated), 8–16 days (estimated). Neither the billing unit nor the minimum volume carries across from one to the other.
How this shipment moves
Inter-island household moving quotes transit by direction — outbound and return differ: Sumatra routes via Jakarta and the rest via Surabaya. Waiting is excluded and added separately on low-frequency lanes, so both must be stated.
How this page's basis is used
Inter-island household moving mainly covers Sumatra, Kalimantan, Bali / NTB / NTT, and the parent table gives two columns: outbound 5–10 days, 7–12 days, 5–12 days. Return runs 7–14 days (estimated), 10–16 days (estimated), 8–16 days (estimated) — they sit side by side because outbound and return are genuinely different books on the same stretch of sea.
The three mistakes this lane punishes hardest
- Leaving the billing unit loose on Inter-island household moving invites a dispute — CBM versus kg and W/M comparison vary by operator.
- Do not guess Inter-island household moving transit from distance — outbound and return differ, and the same region varies by direction.
- For Inter-island household moving the door price often splits deconsolidation and delivery into two lines; check both are present in the quote.
Frequently asked, standard answers
Why is Inter-island household moving quoted by region?
Because outbound and return are not one number: Sumatra runs 5–10 days outbound and 7–14 days (estimated) back, and the other regions follow the same logic. A single figure would distort it, so both columns stay.
How should the delivery boundary for Inter-island household moving be written?
Write it to the door: state whether delivery ends at the warehouse or the job site. The Sumatra bands here, 5–10 days outbound and 7–14 days (estimated) back, are both door-to-door. Leave the boundary open and delivery returns as a surcharge.
