Japanparts.com Review

I bought for the first time with them 3 weeks ago, extremely positive experience. Was quoted 28-35 days delivery. Actual delivery happened 12 days after placing my order including weekend days!

I would recommend them anytime.

Their service is good, but their prices are not. They generally rape on shipping costs for bigger items.

Maybe you know more than me, but I'm pretty sure shipping express mail from Japan is pretty expensive by itself (not including whatever they add for handling).

It can be, but there are ways to ship air from Japan that aren't what they charge...I speak from experience.

I think so. I believe the culprit of their shipping charge is that they use express mail, instead of other cheaper options.

Glad I searched. I was getting ready to start a new review. Love jparts.

I have worked with them for years and have always been happy with their services and products.

Lately I have been working with Yuki to add as many new parts for the ZN/ZC ASAP.

They have recently just added:
Cusco coilover packages
R-Magic clutch line, oil cap, brake lines, mirrors
SAA blue manifold cover
Monster-Sport's chassis bracing parts. Kinda weird. They've always been a Suzuki tuner. Maybe we'll see Tajima san in something other than a Suzuki next year?
Ings +1 kit

Shipping is redunkulous generally. But I would sometimes like to pay a little bit more to feel secure in my purchase protection, security and delivery. Ya know?
