Buy and ship JDM parts to Japan APO / FPO & Off Base domiciles

RHDJapan has long supported the on base SOFA status community with shipping to FPO and APO P.O. box addresses via the Japan post system. Contrary to popular belief this Japan post system does not first ship the box to the States before coming back to Japan. It actually utilizes the MPS system within Japan. Japan Post picks up the item from our warehouse in Osaka and routes it to the nearest base postal system exchange where it then is routed through the MPS system to your military installation post office.

This service while cheap and efficient unfortunately does not work with oversized and overweight items. The MPS system simply cannot handle them.

Introducing our new OFF base shipping service for SOFA status members. With this shipping method we can ship anything you need direct to your door. All you need to provide us with is your APO/FPO zip code, off base address with zip code, and a local phone number for the delivery person.

Consolidation shipping: Big savings with small items in Big Boxes

Consolidation simply put is purchasing a product with a large box with some smaller items that can fit inside that larger box.  While this is by far the most cost effective purchasing with RHDJapan, it only works with some shipping methods. So before ordering you will need a little planning and understanding to take advantage and profit with this style of purchasing. In this post we will be going over the different shipping services offered through the RHDJapan site and providing more insight on how the consolidation services work.

How it WORKS:

You made 3 orders this month. Thank you!!

  • 1st. Order total $349.55
  • 2st. Order total $358.59
  • 3nd. Order total $277.55
    Total paid $985.69

3 separate orders this month.

 

BUT if you purchased them all together

  • 1 consolidated order totaled $879.06, you would have saved $106.63

Consolidate your orders for savings!

BUT WAIT THERE'S MORE!!

Let's check another example

  • 1st. Order total $750.51
  • 2st. Order total $1197.37
  • 3nd. Order total $1329.73
  • Total paid $3277.61

BUT if you purchased them all together

  • 1 consolidated order totaled $2715.33, you would have saved $562.28

As you can see with these real life examples purchasing all your parts from one shop in one go gives you the best price, no doubt! So you may be asking what shipping services can you use with this awesome pro-tip called consolidation?!

Used OEM Parts Purchasing Tips

Welcome to the RHDJapan blog. This listing is for the serious enthusiast looking to keep their aging JDM classic in top form for several more years.

The OEM manufacturers have continually been discontinuing parts, many of which are for vehicles manufactured prior to the mid-90's.  Despite the popularity of many of the vehicles manufactures normally start to discontinue replacement parts after about 25 years. Many OEM parts have no alternative and although there are many of these vehicles out there still there will be many others seeking these parts out as they become more and more difficult to find.

If you are looking to keep your vehicle running for a long time and know that you will need to replace some OEM items it would be ideal to start checking the auctions.

Tracking down active auction listings can be made in real-time using the bidjdm.com Advanced Search. Adding vehicle body information and selecting used parts tends to give a good qty of parts currently available.

After the search is complete there will be some suggested keywords. The word OEM is barely used, the most accurate way to would be to join the search with 純正.

As an extra helpful tip sorting the search results by bids: most first tends to show what is hot!

Voici notre 3ème post qui prend place dans la rubrique de nos astuces d'achat dans laquelle nous continuerons à fournir à notre clientèle des informations et astuces pour vous permettre d'acheter encore plus efficacement avec RHDJapan. Dans ce post, nous allons détailler les différents services d'expédition que nous proposons au travers du site RHDJapan et ainsi vous éclairer un peu plus sur leur mode de fonctionnement. D'autres mode d'expédition tels que LCL et FCL sont également disponibles pour les revendeurs et ceux d'entre vous qui profitent de notre programme professionnel.

Services d'expédition :

Avec des client tout autour du monde, il n'y pas de service unique capable de couvrir l'ensemble de notre clientèle.

Pour tous les pays à qui nous adressons des colis, il y aura un service avec un tarif performant et d'autres qui le sont moins et cela dépend de la région du monde dans laquelle vous résidez.

Nous avons sélectionné 3 des compagnies parmi les plus dignes de confiances pour l'acheminement des achats de nos clients.


Temps de livraison 2 à 5 jours ouvrés 2 à 5 jours ouvrés 2 à 5 jours ouvrés
Limite de taille Longueur Maximale 140cm ET Circonférence Maximale de 300cm NON NON
Limite de poids Jusqu'à 30 kg** NON NON
Méthode de tarification Poids Physique Poids physique OU poids volumétrique* Poids physique OU poids volumétrique*
Assurance Assurance privée RHDJapan*** Assurance privée RHDJapan*** Assurance privée RHDJapan***
Home Page EMS DHL FedEx

Le temps de livraison pour tous ces services est à peu de chose près le même, le service le plus couteux ne va pas de paire avec une livraison plus rapide.

Tous les articles que nous expédions bénéficient de l'assurance personnelle de RHDJapan afin de parvenir à la satisfaction complète de notre clientèle.

Les services d'expédition peuvent agir différement dans leur façon de procéder avec les douanes et les taxes locales selon la région où vous vous situez. N'hésitez pas à sélectionner la meilleure des combinaison tarif/service lorsque vous placez votre commande sur le site de RHDJapan.

* Si un article est trop imposant pour être expédié avec le concours de EMS, cette option ne sera pas disponible sur le site de RHDJapan.

** De même si un seul des articles de votre Caddie excède les dimensions ou poids autorisés pour une expédition par EMS, cette option ne sera pas disponible.

*** Le colis et ses articles sont couverts par RHDJapan.

Les bases de la consolidation :

Les frais de transports sont calculés par tranches de 500 gr, et pour chaque 500 grammes supplémentaires expédiés, le tarif au poids devient de moins en moins cher au fur et à mesure que le paquet s’alourdit.

Il vaut toujours mieux penser à faire une commande importante en une fois plutôt que de petites commandes éparpillées dans le temps, en effet le prix final frais de port inclus n'en sera que plus rentable.

Par exemple :

Ici les frais de port pour un article à destination de l'Allemagne sont de 15 euros.

Ici pour une quantité de 10 exemplaires, Les frais de port reviennent seulement à 2,6 euros pour chaque article !!

Consolidation avancée avec FedEx et DHL :

EMS est limité en terme de poids et de taille de colis, il y a donc un grand nombre d'articles tels que les aéroparts qui ne peuvent pas être expédiées avec ce service. Nous pouvons expédier tout ce que vous désirez et vous aider à épargner de l'argent en procédant à des consolidations / regroupements avancés.
