Yes.

You set up an account to which you can then "bid" for things on Yahoo! Japan Auctions (other sources, no idea?). If you win bids, you can then pay for the item through Import Monster etc...

The best way to look at it is as if Import Monster is your "representative" on Yahoo! Japan Auctions, looking after bids, your payment etc etc.

I can figure out the freight and things like that, I hav`nt set up an accout yet, I thought I would look into it just in case I see something I like. Hence the inquirey.

No. Theres an option on the item page your browsing to calculate delivery to Aus by various methods and size of items. You select the category and it automatically calculates total cost at current price shipped.

+1 To 988OXR's comment , i got a gtb header tank cheaper and in better conditon through IM.

Are you referring to the category guide for shipping? For a set of sideskirts/rear lip/front lip/front bar etc it would be Sea/Container 'C', for something like a front grill then EMS/Air 'B' or Sea/Container 'B'. A full body lit is Sea/Container 'E'.

I've found it pretty easy to follow - if you do happen to choose a 'larger' category for what you have purchased, then I'm sure the IM boys would refund you the difference.

I don't think EMS/Air is viable for larger items ie. if the items aren't too big it would be too expensive anyway.

Just picked up an STi Foz strutbrace for $82 total shipped to the Melbourne warehouse.

Love it!

Is IM's main warehouse in Melbourne? Do they have a pick up option up here in Brisbane or Gold Coast, I have set-up an account and love browsing parts, RX front bars going for $50-$60. Can't wait to actually test them out.

I've also had excelent dealings with the boys from IM.

If anyone of you e-mail them now, i would be very surprised if you didnt get a reply within 20 minutes.
They are very proffesional and will follow everything up ASAP.

Heck, when i had trouble activating my account, Daniel rang my mobile phone and got it all setup within the hour.
I seriously have never encounted service like that from an online distributor before.

Pretty sure they have the one warehouse in Melbourne at Ringwood - were they to have a pickup point in Brisbane etc it would still require freighting items up for you to collect and you would still pay a charge for the freight to Brisbane.
