Yahoo Japan Auctions is the biggest car parts source in Japan for cars Made in Japan. Small parts can be shipped easily by the regular postal system. However, larger parts are difficult to ship and some countries have very strick rules for shipping and handling larger car parts.
We do not allow bidding on any items that cannot be shipped by the Japan Post. These items include car engines, bumpers, hoods, car bodies, car seats and other larger and heavier car parts. Please avoid bidding on these items. If you bid on anything that cannot be shipped, you will be responsible for all expenses. You will surely see shipping cost surprises. Shipping charges could easily reach over a $1,000 for some items. We will also have a bigger handling fee and a penalty fee of $50-$200 depending on the amount of work we have to put.
If you are a serious car parts business person, please contact us and discuss your situation with us. We handle all types of car parts including engines, bumpers, hoods/bonnets, wheels with tires, seats, suspensions, exhaust systems etc. We would be very much willing to put extra efforts to get the larger parts to you. Most larger parts can be shipped by sea freight by LCL or FCL (less container loads or full container loads). Usually, if you are not importing a large volume of car parts, its not cost effective to use LCL/FCL. All larger parts mentioned above come with special handling charges.
There is a special handling fee for car parts. Car parts require more packing, space, and labor than usual smaller items like CDs, anime cels, dolls, video games just to name a few. For the extra labor, packing accessories, and space, we charge a handling fee. There is a minimum of $2 handling fee per item for car parts. If your items do not require this type of handling, you will not be paying these handling charges.
Here are some of the handling fee examples for some of the items that require special handling.
