Partsouq shipping

[DMax82]

Hey all, I am looking for some new window trim pieces for my GX470 and have honed in on OEM Prado black ones from Partsouq. These seem to be a better option than playing Ebay and Amazon roulette. Anyway, the 6 pieces themselves are $154.72, but the shipping is an additional $242.29, via DHL. Weight is about a pound (.847 KG).

So is this typical? Any other recommended options? Thanks! David

It's the tariff and brokerage fee. Not worth it for me. Unfortunately that is the norm nowadays. I would shop around with amayama, partexpress and mega zip.

They were very reasonable on shipping cost until they changed that policy. I've still bought from them, but nothing large.

Yup, it's the tarrifs. You can try Partslane and see if it is any cheaper. I haven't ordered from MegaZip since the tariffs came into existence but they can also be worth checking.

Partsouq had been my go-to for years and save me a ton of $$$$ but the end of the de minimis exception effectively killed that option. For USDM parts I just get them from US-based dealers, but it really sucks for non-USDM parts that we can't get domestically.

Thanks guys! That's disappointing to hear, but I'll check out the other places mentioned.
