Laundry: prices and turnaround
| Service | Indicative price (October 2026) | Good to know |
|---|---|---|
| Laundry by the kilo (kiloan) | 7,000 to 15,000 IDR per kilo | Back the same day or next morning in tourist areas |
| Pickup and delivery | 15,000 IDR per kilo and up (one Canggu provider) | Often a 3 kg minimum |
| Express | 35,000 to 50,000 IDR per kilo (one pickup provider) | Back the next day or within hours |
| Self-service | about 10,000 IDR per kilo (a customer review in Ubud) | Rare: check it is still open |
Weigh and count the items at drop-off. Delicate clothes are washed apart: ask for a separate wash or dry cleaning. Laundry dries fast in the sun, but not in the rainy season: see the rainy season in Bali.
Printing: tickets, visa, documents
"Print" or "fotokopi" shops are signposted near markets and main streets in Ubud, Canggu and Kuta. Many providers work by WhatsApp. For a boarding pass or proof of flight, hotel reception or a coworking space often prints for a few thousand rupiah. A coworking space is handier for bigger files: see coworking and nomads in Bali.
Shipping a parcel or purchases
In Ubud, DHL Express has a service point at Jl Raya Ubud No 16, open Monday to Friday 9am to 12pm and 1pm to 5pm, Saturday 9am to 12pm and 1pm to 2pm, closed Sunday according to its listing. Indonesia's post (Pos Indonesia) takes international parcels at its main offices; the Renon office in Denpasar is cited for helping with packing. JNE is mostly used for shipments inside Indonesia. Before shipping souvenirs (wood carvings, plants), check the rules of the destination country: see souvenirs in Bali. If you only want lighter bags, luggage storage is often cheaper than shipping.
