Default parts from megazip.com?

Anyone successfully order LS430 parts from megazip.com? I ordered a new mirror switch assembly today. I took mine apart to clean contacts and the L-R button on the front fell off - looks like plastic attachment points had aged and become brittle. New switch assembly cost was $120 delivered from Japan via Fedex air - so 5-7 days or so. Lowest price I could find in the US was $216. Not sure how reliable they are, I guess we shall see.

I have ordered several times from Megazip Japan and UAE warehouse and received here with no problems. Shipping was very fast. I did notice that when they have promotion codes, the base price of the items seem to be higher after the promotion begins. Only noticed this on one part so far though, but not a big deal

Megazip, Partsouq annd Impex Japan I think are the 3 best choices at the moment for new parts.

I can see why chose to get the part from Japan. The new price is quite high in the US and the secondhand parts on Ebay US are nearly the same cost as new - madness.

Update - mirror switch order was cancelled due to part not being available. I guess I'll start looking at ebay.

Remember you can order a left or right hand drive module as the switch mech removes as you know. Which means you can try on ebay uk, Yahoo Japan auctions.
