hey there,

I bought wheels from JDM imports which advertise their products on this forum and they imported wheels for me from Japan, at first i didnt wanna get them from Japan as they claim it takes 7 weeks for them to arrive to Australia but after they told me that it is maximum of seven weeks for delivery i agreed to get the wheels over them...1st of July i paid for them and today is 3rd of October and guess what, i still havent got them and that is like 14th week this week...apparently guy said he received it in sidney 3 weeks ago and that he will send it to Perth and that it will take 3 to 4 days for delivery to Perth and its been 3 weeks since then, so what should i do? They are not answering the phone and not replying on my messages. Anyone dealt with these guys as waiting 14 weeks for wheels is bit too much especially after they told me 7 weeks?

regards...

Goran aka cordiapower,

As mentioned to you on a number of occassions, we have had delays with this particular shipment and secondly, domestic freight businesses have been pretty slack of late.

All of this has been made clear and communication has been constant.

With any internet business, there is always an element of doubt as to the credibility or honesty. You have seemed to made this clear in our most recent communications.

Just a little something to give you peace of mind.

Consignment numbers of the domestic freight packaging has also been quoted.

I've dealt with Charles before... Very good to deal with and great prices.

If you don't want to wait then it is probably best to pay more and buy local. Importing anything can take time and there is a possibility of delays.

    • This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.
    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
