Japan to U.S. Shipping Cost
Has anyone ordered a part from Japan before?
My vendor is wanting $550 for shipping costs for a cat-back exhaust.
Before I ordered the part they said they could not quote me the shipping cost until they had received the item in the States.
Now this is the first time I've ordered a part from Japan and maybe this price is accurate... Seems a bit high to me.. Is it?
Would like to hear some opinions before I send the money threw PayPal.
Thanks,
Rob

They shipped my exhaust by water.
So $541 is too much if it was shipped by water?

I was charged $25 for shipping of a computer graphics card from Hong Kong to CA. It got here in three days, including going through U.S. Customs. (U.S. portion was by USPS.) Maybe you should find a dealer in H.K.!

I already paid for the shipping. Kind of had no choice anyways because I had already paid in full for the exhaust.
It should be worth it though!! I hope...
Anyone else have this Exhaust? Maybe I'll post vids if you guys are interested?

next time use a place like http://www.crescent-shop.com/shopping/shopping04.htm where they ship it to you from japan so you ll save money and you get billed exactly what shipping was.

Dude just ship it to us in Japan, and we'll ship it out to you for cheaper, directly to your door. It all comes down to the volume of sales you do w/ shipping companies. You either get standard rates (like the one you were quoted), or if you do THOUSANDS of dollars a month in shipping sales per month, you qualify for discounted shipping rates (which we do).

The exhaust came in a couple days ago.
Took almost 4 1/2 months to get here and so far it's worth it!
It appears to be very well made.
The tips are larger then I thought they'd be but I'm sure they'll look fine once it's on the car.
Here's a couple of pic:
