Ordering from Japan Parts

Quote:

To Your Door by AIR/SAL Only available shipping method(s) is/are shown below.

Parcel SAL/Japan POST 6,850 yen (JPY)(59.60 USD)
extra 3-7weeks

EMS by Priority AIR/Japan POST 7,600 yen (JPY)(66.12 USD)

Parcel AIR/Japan POST 7,750 yen (JPY)(67.43 USD)
extra 5-14days

Courier/Fedex,TNT,DHL,UPS/CAN'T CHOOSE 11,692 yen (JPY)(101.73 USD)

All traceable

What I'm getting here is that the EMS option will take 21-60 Days
I think the Parcel Air option will only take 5-14 days... for an extra dollar of shipping cost.
Am I looking at this right?

Shipping has me confused

This message is on the page of my part
Estimated delivery time by EMS/Courier
21-60 days

These are the actual shipping options that appear on the order page

not sure if I'm seeing all the info right, but every time I've ordered from them, I've chosen EMS. Comes decently quick, and it's traceable. I believe it was like 3 weeks for mine.

Now,if you just can't wait the few extra days and the $$ ain't no thang, sure, step up and get the Parcel Air.

FYI I got my DAMD wheel from them too and used the EMS option. Showed up quick enough for me, and they were on Golden Week.

IIRC, they are a wholesaler in Japan. But they have the site as another way to market JDM goodies to the rest of the world. So once you pay for your order, then they have the goods shipped to their Tokyo warehouse, then they pack it up and have it shipped internationally...

good luck!!!

I don't get it. I ordered carbon door cards for my GR from England. They got here in two days. I mean the shipped the afternoon Monday and arrived weds.

Shipping for 4 door cards was under $100.

Why so long and expensive from Japan parts? Is it like radium where it actually only costs $2 to ship something but they charge you $20 and then still don't ship it out until they feel like it?
