Man you guys are like a pack of rabid dogs.... the link has only been on here for a few days and your allready sending mass emails. :P

Considering that you don't have any idea who these guys are you all seem eager to throw cash their way.

Don't get me wrong... I think they have some really decent deals but you should proceed with caution so as to avoid getting burned.

I've heard of all kinds of people who lost money to companies in places like Taiwan, Korea, Singapore, Thailand.

GST is 7% everywhere in Canada.... some provinces also have provinical sales tax on top of that. (Alberta has no provinical sales tax)

So it's like your regular state tax but we also have a country wide GST.

When dealing with Singapore you will have to pay any local taxes (such as GST) and you will have customs and duty charges when the products enter the USA (or Canada)

For example... the Korean duty is 6%.... so you have to pay the government this duty tax before they will let the parts enter the country.

Because of this you usually have to pay a customs charge.... I think UPS charges $50 for the service of paying your duty for you (then they charge you later)

Keep this in mind..... Canada and the USA have the NAFTA agreement so most items go back and fourth duty free.... and the USA/Canada customs policies are very relaxed compared to when you bring in products from outside of North America. The cheapest customs brokerage method is by Canada Post / US Post since they only charge a couple of bucks ( $4???) to take care of the customs work.

I know that UPS and Fed-Ex will do the customs paperwork and collect the duty from you to give to the government but I'm not sure who else does this for a reasonable price. ( I think fed-ex also charges $50)

So it's quite possible a $50 part might cost you $150 to $175 when you pay the duty, taxes,customs fees and shipping

This is if the Singapore company has any idea how to ship overseas.

They need special paperwork for customs with classification numbers to describe the type of products they are exporting.

If they don't know the classification number and don't have an export ID the US customs could possibly hold your parts at the border indefinitly. (which means you don't get them until the customs guys get the correct paperwork)

In some countries you need a special license to export... so some companies won't do it because it costs too much.

My company has a dedicated Customs Brokerage firm.... they have a person in every single port of entry in North America.

So if there is some kind of screw up with the paper work Cole International will phone us and our supplier to get things straightened out and back on their way.

If you don't have a dedicated customs broker there is nobody there to let you know your shipment didn't make it through customs.

The Customs agents won't phone you ..... It's not their job to ensure your packages arrive safe and sound... they are only concerned with making sure you pay your money and that the paperwork is correct.

As a result it's possible that you will never see your parts... they will float around in the never never land at the port authority office.

Having said that UPS and Fed-Ex are usually pretty good at fixing up any problems with customs.... so make sure you have it sent by someone that can look after your customs paperwork for you.

Sorry I got off topic..... people sometimes jump the gun when ordering overseas... it's way easier to get something from an individual (like EBAY) than it is from a company.

We are aware of those type of web sites, beliave me no one here will send money if we are at least 95% sure... :twisted:

Maybe because they are from Korea, we can take a litter risk.

Thats why im looking into it. Tom says he will have the brake rotors in whatever month he said. But i dont know if he plans a sturt anytime soon. And someone else on here got a spoiler from another country that i liked, so ill ask him if everything went okay and i might not even order from these people.

lanos2001 · Post by **lanos2001** » Thu Jan 20, 2005 7:13 am

well i'm glad i know now what GST is. and yes i did planned on asking them if they ever answer my email. plus asking what it intales on total prices over all and getting just more standard info from them. yeah we're eager but thats only because of the limited companies and parts we can get. like mocpac_ser said we're not gonna order until we're pretty sure that they won't try to give us the shaft. if anything i was thinking that if we did get a hold of them to buy something really small to see how everything goes. but thats if they have something for real cheap.

The point is that there is absolutly no way for you to know if they have any idea about shipping overseas.

You might be 95% sure that they are nice people who really want to make you happy.... but that doesn't mean that they can do the paperwork right.

I think purchasing something small is a great way to see how things go... but a small purchase (under $100) won't grab the attention of the customs people.... so they usually slide by without a problem...even if a small purchase goes well it doesn't mean that a large purchase will work just as good.

I'm not saying don't buy off them... just make sure that they know what they are doing before you hand over a few hundred dollars.

One option is to have them send you the customs paperwork before they send you your stuff.... then find someone who is very familiar with shipping overseas to look at the paperwork (or pay someone to check it out).

I would say that roughly 20% of all our shipments from Europe and the USA get held up in customs due to tiny little errors such as wrong classification numbers. Luckily our customs broker usually figures it out within a day or two.

Autoparts should be significantly easier than the stuff we bring in to Canada but I just wanted to inform you guys that overseas purchases can get screwed up sometimes and end up costing you more money.

Trust me I know where your coming from..... I have a major itch to get things going with my Optra 5 transformation.

90% of the time I won't risk loosing money but it's been taking too long for this turbo kit manufacutrer to get his "legal" export license so I'm thinking I'm going to get Tom to send him my cash via Fed-Ex to get a couple of parts.

It's questionable if he will get caught and I will loose my parts but I really need the cast turbo manifold to start figuring out where everything is going to go ( to ensure the kit will work... since it's not specificly designed for this car)

I feel sorry for Tom (360Dynamics) because he's being asked to bring all kinds of stuff but he doesn't have the cash to buy everything at once.

A perfect example.... springs.... the manufacturers won't even consider you for a distributorship unless you can buy a minimum of $2000 to $5000 worth of springs per shipment. Even $2000 is questionable....I was trying to land a distributorship of FK products from Europe (they have some Daewoo parts) but I would have needed to order $50,000 to become a "full" dealer..... I think the minimum purchase level requirement was $10,000 but at that discount I'd be paying nearly full retail ( 5% off retail + shipping )

So yes.... there are limited companies selling Daewoo stuff but that's because of the large amount of money needed to open up distributorships from manufacturers.

The another option is to purchase your products from another larger distributor but in the end it makes it hard to compete.... especially if your customers deal with that distributor in the first place.

Tom is trying to deal directly with the manufacuturers so he has to focus on one distributorship at a time.

Right now it's springs.... he's ordered them and they should be here in a few weeks (I think he said the first or second week of Febuary).

Once he recovers some money from sales of lowering springs I'm sure he will focus on the next most popular item everyone wants. ( I hope it's Turbos

)

In the end we will all win because he will be able to offer us some really decent pricing on good quality parts.

So I hope you will all be patient.... I know first hand how this stuff works and I know Tom is trying to do the best he can with what he has.

I understand all this too.. my family has started all kinds of small/big business in the past and well.. its a bitch.

Im not expecting the turbo till at least summer. I'm starting to get limited on money anyways. My cars in the shop and i cant work without it. To drive the rental you have to be 24 so im driving my moms suv (12mpg!) and i put all my money saved up into realstate and cant get it for about 4 more months. whoa im getting side tracked. Anyways i much rather buy stuff from Tom cuz the more you buy the quicker he can get the better (and bigger: turbo!

) things going.

lanos2001 · Post by **lanos2001** » Fri Jan 21, 2005 5:32 pm

well i like the fact of the paper work being sent but they havne't even answered my email yet. so more than likely they're not apparently interested in money.

as for the 360 i would rather buy parts from them as well. just gotta wait like erfinder said. if tom is gonna start with turbo things, hopefully, i might just wait on gathering parts for my turbo project then to see what happens with him first. i'm not in a big hurry to get that ball rolling anyways b/c $$$$$$ is the problem for now. i guess i'll just start saving up money for the project and if he comes out with something then cool i'll have most of the money if not all and if it doesn't happen then i'll have the money for the custom turbo.
