Anyone have shipping connections in Japan?

I've used Sean before for 2 big items and it didn't go as smoothly but it wasn't his fault. When I was inquiring about a new JDM part he replied right away that he will look into it but I never heard from him again. I sent a follow up email a few weeks later and it went unanswered. So I went elsewhere and now Maxime is handling my order.

Not sure if he is actually ignoring some of us....he deals with alot of people and maybe he is just losing track of his emails.

Call him maybe? Phat has is number on speed dial I think.

I usually get in contact with him via CR or here. He replied to my PMs every time. Never emailed him, so I can't say anything about that.

Maybe he gets a gargantuan amount of emails, maybe some go to spam, etc. maybe that's why it's so easy on the forums via PM.

I got a response, seems he is losing track of emails, blamed it on gmail.

On CR he told me to email him and after sending a few messages on facebook, he told me to email him (and then I had to repeat the entire facebook conversation). He only seems to want to deal through email, but his email is apparently broken. So I'll see how this works out, hopefully better than Buyee, but at the moment they're exactly equal.

Like fwdtamiya, it also took Buyee two months to process my NA roof rack as it was oversize. Just received a price last week of ~$150 which is okay. But it took so long to process.

Getting blown off again, last two emails were ignored by JDMPalace.

That sucks. I was going to contact him regarding a GHO bumper based on Randy's recommendation but now I'm not so sure it's worth the bother trying to go through him.

Why not ask Max or Rod? They've always been super helpful whenever I was in a pinch. And buyee has always been kind of hit or miss for me...they seem spotty when it comes to larger items.

just chiming in to say dont use repezen. HORRIBLE communication, i wont hear from him for weeks at a time. i bought a hood and had it shipped to their seattle warehouse. they ended up shipping my hood to california, and when i went to go pick it up in seattle (driving from portland) they didnt have it.

Never heard of http://repezengk.com but thanks for the warning!

I got a carbon fiber hood shipped to Seattle for 250 bucks. Good deal, but it's been a long ordeal. Over 3 months now and still no hood

How much would it cost to ship a hood to the US with EMS / UPS / FedEx from Japan?
