I ordered a STI strut tower brace from Japanparts in Japan last week. It was posted on Thursday 28th in Japan, arrived here at home today, Tuesday, 5th; that`s 4 working days......very impressed.
Ordered a case for a phone in UK last month, took over 2 weeks to arrive....go figure.

 

Isn't japarts in the uk bud?

 

He means Japanparts

4 working days pretty good, probably came Fedex so missed out Coventry International Mail Centre where all the holdups usually are.

If Fedex, expect a bill in the post

 

The swines got me last time

 

No unusual if sent via airmail like above or ups.
Via boat is where it can take ages

 

Doh! Yeah, Japanparts. Tracking stated it went to Coventry. I thought I had been in a time warp...it arrived in the UK at 11.50 pm on Fri night, having left the Tokyo Japanparts depo just after 4 pm on Thurs.
I can`t see Fedex anywhere on the docs, it`s Japan post and parcelforce, but I bet there will be a bill somewhere...but you never know.

 

If it arrived Parcelforce you've been very lucky

 

if you collect from your parcel force depot you'll have paid when you collected it?

I normally do... the import duty.. vat etc

 

That is quick

 

No bill or customs info with it; will that arrive separately then ?

 

doubt it - normally you have to pay before delivery, so you have probably escaped :: Given it was a bank holiday, that's really good service !

 

If it arrives in one piece, very very lucky. Steve
