Ok So im gonna rant abit since im a little frustrated at my situation. Some of you know im having clutch issues right now. I stopped driving my car 2 weeks ago until i get a new clutch and so on. Here it is. I ordered an exedy stage 1 clutch and nismo clutch pivot fork from enjukuracing.

I specifically told them to ship it through usps/canada post because as everyone knows if your not from the states ups will fuck your eyes out. So Clutch was shipped on the 11th of March a wopping 12 days ago. Yet the tracking has no been updated it just says items have left origin country on route to canada. I dont understand this shit. I have had packages from japan take 4 days on regular ems 4-7 day shipping.

Shit is rediculas and its wasting time. I want to be driving my car right now.

On another note does anyone know how long it takes for international shipping with usps? 7-14 business days?

1.5 weeks for a pair of Oakleys from Cali, kinda unrelated but if it has to pass through customs, it’ll sit for a while if there’s a backlog

LOL yeah…come to think about it, thats what happened to my first pair of oakleys…apparently $175 sunglasses will cost you 20 bucks in customs charges.

One of my old coworkers had a great idea though, he group-Rented a P.O. box/storage on the buffalo side of the border and had everything shipped there for pickup. Definitely easier

Talk to enjuku. Same thing happened to me when i ordered an downpipe and test pipe and the problem was they had 3 people in the system with the same first and last name as me so when i was tracking it, it said it was already delivered. They ended up rerouting it and gave me discounts towards my future purchases. E-mail enjuku and see if there was a problem first.

I had a part ship USPS and the tracking # only showed the item getting dropped off in CA.

2 weeks and the online tracking showed nothing, even after it arrived…

The package type the guy used with USPS does and doesn’t have tracking, in my scenario…

Unless it was shipped EMS from them it’s sounds like it’s 7-14 day shipping option…And I’d like to join in and say that I HATE the added fees on top of the duty that UPS charges you. I ordered something recently and the brokerage fee was almost tripple the amount of the duty. How the hell does that even make sense?

It’s not so much the postal services… its f\*cking US customs, once your item hits the borders they cause all the damn delays. I use to sell on ebay and I get all kinds of problems with US customs I have plenty experience with those bastards.

ALOT of people blame the postal services but their hate is misplaced (in most cases) its the US Customs you need to direct your hatred to lol for the most part the postal services does their job in a timely manner however as soon as your item hits customs (its out of the postal services hands) I’ve seen packages delayed for MONTHS. The reason you got your package so quickly from Japan was because it didn’t have to cross the US border and was processed from Canadian customs (though they can be just as bad sometimes).
