Buyee Jap Spares

(1/3) > >>

Rozabikes Tim:
Just looking parts for my TL125 project and I've come across Buyee who handle grouping and sending orders from various Japanese auction sites etc.

Fully aware there will be add on costs for uk duty and vat etc. apparently not as a gift below £135?

Anybody any experience of using them, Jauce or other similar sites I understand there are?

Skoti:
Got front forks from Japan for my NF75, bought direct from breakers http://ilovemotor.jp/shop/c/c by payment through bank transfer.

But you can also use https://www.worldshopping.global/ which is probably more expensive but safer.


Had to use Google translate to read the Japanese bike breakers auction web pages tho...


Good luck

Skoti

I used Buyee a lot a few years ago for my VFR400 project. They were very good to start with and would consolidate orders from different sellers. However they started getting touchy about some items if they even very faintly smelt of oil.
I ordered and paid for some fairing air intakes and they informed me that they smelt of vapour and would not send them. I got back to them and explained what the items were and that they did not contain or contact oil. Eventually they released them and I didn’t lose out.
You’ll notice on their site many bike parts are marked as potentially prohibited or blocked items.

Yes noticed the restrictions on many items such as exhausts. It says about checking first and and option to specially package it.  Think it may be suck it and see?

Coincidentally I’ve recently been looking at Jauce and first impressions are that the site is more sensible regarding prohibited items. May give them a try soon.
