Looking for some OEM parts at Amayama. I notice that they offer two prices, one from Japan and a lower price from UAE which also has longer delays.

Does anyone know if there is any quality difference between the two, eg made in Japan versus a Chinese sweatshop?

UAE makes up for the price in massive shipping costs

Amayama have a warehouse near Osaka, so if it's Toyota OEM parts, ordering from Japan has the following benefits;
  • Better access as all the Toyota suppliers in Japan are centered at Nagoya.
  • Stock availability is likely to be more accurate.
  • Quicker delivery.

AND you are supporting the local Japanese economy so they keep making weird and wonderful cars!

I can confirm he UAE stock is genuine Toyota parts. Certain parts are significantly cheaper but it does take longer to ship out.

I ordered something a few days ago, waiting to see how long it takes :-)
Peter.. I wonder if shipping multiple items at once will save on costs?
I'm considering a new airbag strut at ~$484+post or so.. can't go wrong maybe?

Very interesting Chris, can you let us know what the freight cost is and keep us informed of the progress?

Amayama takes an absolute age to ship from Japan let alone UAE...

I'll let you know when it arrives :-)

Let me know if you're going to order, and maybe we can ship everything at once and share shipping? If they charge per item then it wouldn't make any difference though...

It was a while ago now (maybe a year?) but I think I had my (Japanese) parts in about 3 weeks? I don't know - how long do people think it SHOULD take?
Their communication seemed good....and I would order again.

You can get stuff out of the US sometimes within a week, UK a bit longer, and Canada about 3 months.
Havent bought anything out of Japan to comment.
Hell, sometimes it takes for ages to get stuff in Australia.

I find that parts from Amayama come extremely fast when there is no delays considering it is overseas.
