These guys are heavily advertised in the car magazines I read, I would be interested to see if anyone has used them and whether they are reliable? They seem to put a lot of effort into providing an efficient service.

They are also advertised on various car forums with a good rep!

^^ x 2

also, this is probably a stupid question, but how does import monsters profit from this service? have the bidding prices better factored up???

oops i didn't read, there's a shipping calculator link.
also, they charge 2500yen plus 25% of the final sale price

damn!!! it seems pretty cheap.. but when u do the estimated fee.... shipping is the biggest killer

the last time i used them, they charge 20% of sale price, with minimum 3000 Yen and capped at 12000 per item.

large item mostly cost a little bit extra to ship via ems, since going with container can save with cheaper shipping, but need to pay for import duty and GST..
