Buying car spares from Japan

Hi peeps, Anyone with this experience who can explain how it's done? For example, who ships the parts? Do we have Cargo companies (like the Eastleigh ones) which ship from Japan? Thanks. Some people see the glass half full. Others see it half empty.
I see a glass that's twice as big as it needs to be.

Depending on size or weight, Japan Post is the cheapest/ convenient. They will then provide you with 3 options air-1 week or less, SAL -2weeks , Ship-3 months plus. work to prosper

You can purchase from Amazon and have it shipped at $15 per kg. History will not remember you for your IQ. It will remember you for what you did. “Genius is 1 percent inspiration, 99 percent perspiration.” Thomas Edison
