Tips to Know Before Shopping in Bali

1. Purchasing Options: You should know that though both cash and credit cards are accepted, it is recommended that you use cash, since there is a lot of bargaining margin when it comes to the local markets, and also, credit cards are charged with an extra 2% to 3% processing fee. So be smart, and carry cash.

2. Quality Check: Always make sure you check the quality of the time you are buying for yourself. Vendors usually try and trick the tourists into buying the item which is sold less or is defective, so beware of this. If you’re not sure, ask a local or a fellow guide to help you differentiate between the good and bad pieces.

3. Bargaining: It is a critical point to remember when shopping in Bali. When you’re a tourist, vendors will try to mug you off as much money as they can, since you don’t know the local prices. So it is better always to try and bring down those prices to extreme lows, from where you can build and assess how much the product is worth. You can also wander from shop to shop in search of that perfect price tag you’ve been looking for, and also to get a taste of what the prices are around the market.

4. Check Customs: Do consider the fact that whatever you buy, you will have to take back with you to your country. So make sure you don’t buy anything which may not pass through the customs of your country.

No one will have to put on their thinking cap when wondering what to buy in Bali, because the shopping scene in Indonesia is so unique and the products so rare, that you have to carry home souvenirs. This list aims to help you sort that out quickly, mentioning the things you should get to call your trip a complete one. Collect some souvenirs, make people happy, treat yourself to the authentic Balinese experience and have fun! Shopping in fun, and in Bali, it is even better.
