How fast we can ship your car?

Wednesday, October 25th, 2006

One of the questions often asked by our customers is ‘When will my car get shipped?’

Well, most of the Japanese cars in our stock already have “de-registration documents” so we can start arranging the shipment next day we confirm your payment. Please get in touch with us to get an idea about the approximate ocean freight time for your country.

However, depending on the destination country, sometimes it may be difficult to book a shipment for the next available ship. For Carribean countries and Canada there are only few ships are available from Japan, and new cars get a priority for loading. Thus, the ocean Freight time will depend on the destination where you want to ship your car and may vary from several days to several months. (more…)

Why we ask full payment before shipment?

Today I’ll share with you one incidence which was a mistake on our part.

One of our customers from a Caribbean country placed an order for a car with us. He had transferred part of the money to our bank account.

I was planning to send it to the customer only after getting the full payment. However the payment did not arrive from the customer. So I decided to stop the shipment at the port of Jamaica and negotiated with a shipment company in Jamaica to ship the car back to Japan. It was not possible for us to selll the car to any other customer in Jamaica because of the regulations regarding year of manufacturing. (more…)
