Any proven companies for buying and shipping from Japan to US?
I need to buy some parts from quite small shop that only sells in Japan. I know there are a bunch of companies that offer parcel forwarding services. Just wondering if anyone has any recommendations of the ones that are proven.
Thanks. |

As far as JDM parts for the BRZ, I've used Enjuku (Exhaust) and Nengun (Hangers, HKS accessories). Both have been reliable. If those are the types of parts you're looking for.

It's not widely available parts. There's one small shop that makes a great bolt-on front swaybar relocation kit. So I'll reach out to Streeter once I'm absolutely sure I need it.

Black Hawk Japan. You can contact them and ask if they're able to get stuff for you. Sometimes they can.
One time I wanted a particular set of Endless brake pads and they didn't sell Endless at that time. So they contacted Endless for me, found a set, got it for me, and shipped it to me.

Buyee.jp is offering services to order from link/purchase request now as well, but I would prefer to go through Jesse Streeter Corp for niche orders like this. Streeter has better customer service/interactions. Buyee is a big corporation and it's hard to get personalized service like how Streeter does

+1 for BlackHawkJapan. I got the NurSpec rear spats from them (they got it from yahoo Japan auctions for me). They just ask for a small fee for getting things that aren't in their inventory.
