JDM Parts Direct from Japan Guide 8)
Well here's the deal, since I'm in the heart of Japan I can get pretty much anything you need or want. I can get all the top brands or if you have a JDM vehicle I can get any OEM part you need.
Many people think it's a long wait or hassle to get JDM aftermarket or OEM parts but it's not as long as you know the process. So I decided to make a guideline to the process of getting parts you need. This might seem like a long process but it's quite easy however, I want to make the process as transparent as possible for you guys. This is a great service which has alot of flexibility, especially with used parts.
SHIPPING (applies to New and Used parts)
JAPAN POST (Air Mail)
I used Japan Post because it's the fastest (About 7 business days to NS)and most reliable shipping with tracking.
They have ground shipping but has no tracking but it's cheap.
So their restrictions are as follows:
Max weight = 30kg, Max TOTAL size = 3m, MAX Length = 1.5m
For larger items we'll sync up with our car importer Gabe, so when he has a container comming to NS we can get the parts sent with him. So we'll keep you posted when that's available.
PART ORDERING PROCESS
NEW parts ( Aftermarket / OEM )
(Basically like at home call the supplier get a price give it to you.)
1- Request (email / pm) as usual and I get a price for you.
2- Payment via Paypal (prefered) but Visa / MC also accepted if needed.
3- Part ordered then shipped to your address or Driftnami's address.
USED Parts
(Little more hunting, I use used shops and auctions here in Japan. Requires more buyer, seller communication but definatly worth it.)
1- Request (email / pm ) and I can do a search.
2- Once item is found either full payment or an initial deposit (50%) is required to purchase the item. Note: The initial price and 50% deposit is based on the item's purchase price and estimated shipping cost.
3- On arrival to me the item(s) is inspected since some shops have a week return policy if the item is bad.
4- Final weight is taken and shipping cost is adjusted (if required). Note: The adjustments are for larger, heavier items but the adjustments usually only range from 20$ - 50$MAX. However same goes if I over estimated the remainder will be deducted from the remaining total.
5- After balance is paid the item will be shipped to customer's address or Driftnami's address.
Notes (Important)
***With the Deposit the customer has some options, if inital item(s) happen to sell before I can purchase them then the deposit can be used to purchase another item of the same price. Since used part prices vary if the item happens to be slightly more expensive, I will contact the customer for approval. When given the OK I will purchase the item and then make the adjustments to the final cost.
***All used items are inspected however are sold as-is since they are used***
***50% deposit is non refundable UNLESS:
-I can return the item due to item fault or item description error.
-The item has not yet been purchased.
***In order for me to ship directy to your address the item must be payed in full within 2 weeks , of the intial purchase date (This due to limited storage), after that it will be shipped to our Halifax location where it can be payed for and picked up. If the item cannot be picked up and requires postage from our shop location, aside from us delivering it to you, then further shipping fees apply.***
***If item is not payed for in full within 3 months, of the intial purchase date, the item is subject to be sold unless other arrangments have been made.***
