Any experience with the website FitinPart.sg as a parts supplier (1 Viewer)

[Shyrock]

I'm searching for a suitable clutch disc for a 1993 KZJ78 Prado. Partsouq.com had Aisin clutches #DT-134 and DTX-134 listed to add to your shopping cart, but their quantity is noted as zero. I'm awaiting confirmation from them for whether they can source or not.
When searching the Aisin part numbers, this website came up - FitinPart . Pricing is comparible, but shipping is up to a third less to the US than Partsouq.
I've had good results w/ Partsouq in the past, but just wondering if anyone has dealt with FitinPart.

So it looks like a lot of views but no feedback via MUD for the FitinPart parts supplier. Checking some other reviews by Google, and didn't find horror stories.
So I decided to try an order - I was having trouble locating the Aisin clutch disc anyway, and they indicated availability. Other parts and shipping seemed reasonably priced.
Checked today for order status and get the following type of information.

If you click the i information button in the Vendor status column by items, this is the type of info shown:

It will be interesting to see how this ends up.

Update:
Shipment received this morning. It seems they operate with several vendors, gather parts ordered, and ship once all have been received by them. It's slower than I have experienced compared to Partsouq. But they had some Toyota parts and the Aisin clutch disc that I was not able to locate elsewhere.
Then there was a customs hold in Honolulu that held up shipment a bit. A summary of the Fedex tracking history follows for reference.
The order was placed October 12 around 6:00 pm EST.

Thank you for sharing this experience. And three times bravo for giving it a try.
Always good to have one more potential source for parts.
Cheers

Do you have any insight into their supply chain or the veracity of their parts?

SE Asia is **notorious** for counterfeit parts and business models.

I don't have insight into their supply chain.
I did not unpackage much yet.
Clutch disc was packaged in what looked like a legitimate Aisin box.
Release bearing and pressure plate were what looked like legitimate Toyota boxes.
All other parts were bagged with what looked like legitimate Toyota labels.
I can get photos w/ more detail if there is any interest.

Look closely at the script. The font of the packaging. And the bar code on the box. And the date codes on the part number labels.

Photos of packing and product follow. I’m not an expert on Toyota parts, but nothing jumped out to me as looking odd

Look legit.

I have ordered several timing cases from them - both 12HT and 1HDFT, and everything looked legit, down to the TOYOTA being ground off the casting and coming in an Aisin box.

Hello,

It sounds like a good supplier option.
