Amayama Japan, partsouq.com, Anyone order from them? Legit? Options

[Bitter]

Trying to not pay through the ass for some parts on the Celica, state-side dealers are asking $300 for a chain and $300 for the VVT sprocket, double what I had expected.
Anyone used this company before?

How about https://partsouq.com ? Anyone deal with them?

Never purchased from partsouq.com but I heard others have w/ no issue.
I did buy from amayma back in 2022 for E153 stuff (synchros, etc) and they're legit.

Awesome. I think I'm going to go with PS, found a couple more recent threads about Amayama having some issues with shipping, they charge FedEx but it arrives on slow boat EMS or they break the order into several shipments and double charge shipping. One guy had an incorrect customs form and had to pay through the nose, $40 customs on a $60 part.

From what I can figure out car parts under $800 shouldn't have to deal with customs duties?

Parts came FAST from Parts Souq, look legit.

i used to order thru Two's R us website and before that from battlegarage. But then battle garage didnt want to deal with it, they mainly support 3sge beams blacktop community. There are already many mr2 sites that do 3rd and 4th gen 3sgte parts. Now I order my stuff thru jessestreeter for 94-99 celica engine n chassis stuff.
