Group ship from Japanparts?
 
Hi guys,

I was wondering if anyone would be interested in ordering parts together from japanparts.com. I am planning to get the STi springs, and the quote for shipping is $134. If anyone else wants to add to the order and split the shipping cost that'd save money for both of us.

Let me know.

when are you planning on ordering?

Given the ridiculous delivery times (21-28 days) I don't want to wait for too long. But can hold off till the 15th if someone who wants to ship stuff together is getting paid then.

I ordered my tails with them. Didn't take as long as I thought. But if you were to try and warranty something. Good luck.

I'm in. I was going to order from them today but decided to wait till Monday.

My springs came in 3 weeks, keep in mind you'll more than likely get a duty fee after shipment.

How much was your fee?

Turbo95eg6 05-07-2014 07:23 PM

For a $500 order (springs and tips) it was only like $30. Which reminds me, I still need to pay it lol.

Yeah, the duty fees aren't too bad. Had to deal with those during my previous project.
@NemeGuero, PM me to figure out the details on what/when/how you want the combined order to go through.

Guys, it's likely that this group-ship idea is not the best.
The shipping quote generator on japanparts is stupid:

I want to order these springs: front and rear.

Someone else from the forum asked if he could join the group ship with the exhaust and tails.

I ran some quotes and saw:
springs alone = 134
legamax exhaust alone = 940
colin tails alone = 78

If shipped separately, everything would add up to: 1152
If combined into one order on the site: 1223 <- this makes no sense

Let's see just for the exhaust and tails:
exhaust + tails shipped separately: 940+78 = 1018
exhaust and tails shipped combined = 1065 <- makes no sense again

Shipping front springs separately ($98) from rears (another $98) doesn't save money though.

Wondering if I should email japanparts about this.
Another option is avojdm.com, but their prices for STi stuff are higher.

$200 just to ship springs. Ridiculous lol

Touge_ninja 05-08-2014 12:49 PM

Why not ask Paul from avo directly about ordering parts for your sti?

NemeGuero 05-08-2014 12:50 PM

AVO doesn't have what I wanted. But I guess it doesn't matter anymore anyway unless you email JapanParts and they work out a deal for us to combine shipping.

Talking about OP wanting parts for his sti
