    And if your japanese isn't too good (even though proudear probably has people who speak english if you emailed them) you can use RHDJapan as the middle man as they sell it on their site too. They sell a lot on their site.

    I've written to Proudear in the past.
    They can respond in english .. but communication will take a bit of work.
    It's not their main language, so terminology can be a challenge.
    But with patience it (successful) communication can be achieved.

    True .. it is perhaps the reason Proudear has agreements with RHDjapan to overcome some of the exporting issues/challenges.
    Shipping to multiple destinations in one's/two's can be costly. If RHDjapan receives in larger numbers .. overall shipping costs "may" be reduced.
    Of course supply-n-demand, logistics and storage of items needs to be accounted for .. inorder for companies like RHDjapan to be in business.

    Going from memory .. it isn't like Proudear is manufacturing these items on a daily basis. Most (?) are made to order. Realistically, what successful business will manufacture 100s of airdams, sideskirts, etc .. on the "hope" they will sell? Like Kaminari … they make items "to order" .. so it takes time … unless (by luck) your order reaches them as they are making a run ..

    This is how most smaller businesses operate over seas

    They most likely have a warehouse in CA somewhere. Most likely near long beach as its the busiest port in US. My guess they bring items over container at a time packed with many several parts. Considering it will cube out volume wise before weighing out, sq footage of parts is premium. Bigger items like a hood, will cost more.

    They are a make to order company. But their turn around isnt too bad. It was 9 weeks from order payment to part arrival including the time it took on the boat and domestic carrier.
