Wait time on items bought overseas

[Da_Shnizzle]

Curious if anyone has been waiting more than a year on products bought outside the US?

Just waiting on some exterior pieces but don’t know if I should be concerned. Ordered through LMTLS

It depends on what the items are. Many of the big ticket items from Japanese manufacturers are either made to order or made in batches so wait times can be long dated. There is nothing wrong with following up with the vendor to request an update, especially if the initial ETA has passed.

I have parts from Japan ordered through LMTLS that I’m still waiting on. Ordered 5 months ago. They told me it would be a long wait but if it had been a year I would follow up.

Every response has been they are waiting on the crate to arrive. The lead time was 6-8 months and I understand it doesnt work smoothly, but a year now is quite a long time.

My guess...Your order was placed where a new container was needed to be filled and they don't ship until they are full. I would presume the 6-8 month lead time initially mentioned was based on the forecasting of future orders to fill the container itself. Port-to-port container shipping from Japan to CA averages 2-3 weeks.

Alternative option is to buy direct from a vendor in Japan. Granted you will have to pay more for shipping and tariff fees but at least you receive the item much more quicky.

I ordered a J’s Racing carbon hood in May. It just arrived in the US last week.

J’s Racing valve cover took around 3 months.

Origin titanium strut bar I’m still waiting on an eta.

Which exterior pieces did you order? LMTLS is generally very good with getting parts in but they're ultimately at the mercy of the vendor and their shipping schedule.

I’ve waited over 14 months to get my M&M Honda front lip ordered from GoTuning.

I considered that front lip after my first one got damaged, how do you like it?

I like how it looks, that’s about it. The fitment for the price, is not good. The right piece has a larger gap than the left piece when it connects to the center piece. It protrudes out quite a bit and it sits lower. I guess that contributes to how it looks. Pairs well with my Voltex wing in my broken brain. My car is not lowered and it is scrape scrape city here in NYC.

Ironic US made is the slowest
quality takes time.

Your patience is unmatched. I guess we see what happens with my items.
