End of cheap parts?

[Knucklehead]

Probably like other folk on here, I used to get big ticket items from Amayama UAE warehouse.
Even with the custom charges these worked out cheaper than direct in UK.

Noticed recently that the only option I could see is out of the Japan warehouse costing a lot more.
I contacted Amayama and got this reply:

Hello,

Unfortunately we have experienced some technical issues in the UAE with the implementation of VAT and new customs procedures introduced from the 1st of January.

As this stage we have no option but to disable the ability to purchase from the UAE warehouse as there's no estimated time when we will be able to resolve the issue. In the meantime if you require a quote on parts and they appear in our parts database with alternate supply locations, please order them through our Japan or Australian warehouses.

A notification will be posted on the Amayama website main page once ordering from the UAE is available again.

Regards,

Amayama Sales Support


As we already pay VAT etc when they land in the UK i wonder if we will be able to buy them without the new UAE VAT added.

Time will tell.

Dave.

Not sure about that as Saudi (and UAE I guess) is getting short of cash so they'll just ramp up costs. I've usually found the Japanese parts to be only a little dearer.

And shipping from Japan cheaper, so that small orders have always been cheaper from there.

I got probably the last order in towards the end of 2017.
Shipped from UAE it probably took about a week start to finish to get the parts, great saving on a UJ, rear axle torsion bar and a support bracket for a rear muscular.

Part Souk are still worth checking. I've used them for the 80, Subaru and Slylime posted to UK and NZ before with no issues.
