1 Decide on your purchase before bargaining. Negotiating the bill prior to making your final selection is considered rude and could cost you more than a few rupiah. 2 Don't forget shipping costs. Airfreight can more than double the price of your purchase. Carry home as much as possible but keep in mind that your airline can charge you up to $125 for each additional suitcase you check. 3 Make sure that items are really from Bali. Friends might be disappointed to discover a MADE IN INDIA sticker on their souvenir. 4 Remember your home climate. Teak is highly adaptable because of its natural oils, but bamboo will crack in dry weather.
