Anyone imported parts from Japan?

[thegame888]

If anyone has experience importing headers / exhausts from Japan...

What is the best postal service and what can I expect to pay in postage?

Many Thanks

for header:
most ppl use japan post/ems and best part is they charge purely base on weight only, no dimensional weight bullsh*t.
a 4-1 header with box and packaging material at about 14 kg cost about 16000 yen via ems.
normal post is about 14000 yen and it take a while longer to come and dont have tracking

exhaust:
most exhaust is outside of jap post/ems size limit for shipping via air. size limit might not apply for jap post surface mail (SAL), but transit time could be months.
other than that you still have 3rd party courier like DHL, fedex etc etc

Awesome! That is exactly the information I was looking for. You've been repped!

It gives me confidence to buy headers from there now. Cheers
