Overnight parts from Japan!!!

lt1_fd3s · 07-30-2008, 10:30 AM

Ok, so on July 21st I placed an order with RHDJapan for a set of FD rotor housings. I went into this thinking (from what I was told by someone...not by RHDJapan) it would be about a month or so before they would show up. Not a big deal to me, I got another car to drive in the meantime. But I did see the order was set to have "express air shipping"...

Well, order goes from placed to approved...and so on...then I get email notice:
Ordered Shipped 7-29-08...and here I am today, the 30th and my housing are sitting at the house!

I did get a call from FedEx yesterday, they were wanting a better description of the items because they didn't know what "rotor housings" were!

and didn't want them to get held up in customs

anyway, here is the tracking from fedex showing they were in japan yesterday!

I just want to say thanks! this will allow me to get my engine back to Kevin Landers very soon!

So, if you don't mind me asking, How much are new rotor housings?

lt1_fd3s · 07-30-2008, 10:55 AM

Ended up costing right about $1094 for both together. And I got like $70 discount for "multiple items"...but had a ~$50 fee for using credit card...

Thank you for the feedback and we hope that you get back rotoring as soon as possible!

I take my engine back up to Kevin Landers this weekend for him to rebuild it.

I have bought parts from both RHD and Nengun and have to give the huge thumbs up to RHD because of their shipping times. Both orders I placed through RHD took roughly a week, while both orders that I have placed through Nengun took over a month. So RHD that's a late thank you from me.

I got my housings from them incredibly fast also and it cost me around $950 shipped!

RHD Japan does ship fast, but remember you gain a day when going from Japan to the U.S., so two days total. Still fast, but a day longer.

Thank you for the many thumbs. Our prices per individual item may not always be cheaper however what we have been working on is the best package price for those with thought out purchases. And with most well planned purchases Mazda OEM parts also become a necessity.....and some cannot provide.....
