I was wondering if anybody has any experience purchasing Toyota/Lexus OEM parts from United Arab Emirates? The pricing looks very attractive even including shipping to US. Please, share.

 

I have ordered from some of those UE vendors no issues and received OEM parts which worked as should. Shipping was pretty quick considering their location.

 

Go to Megezip.Net out of Japan. They have a warehouse in the UAE as well as Japan. I have ordered a ton of stuff from them for 2010 LS 460L, 2006 SC 430 and my son's 2005 SC 430. You can get OEM parts from them and have it shipped cheaper than buying from a Lexus dealership. Try them you will be happy. Great folks to work with.

There is no such website. If you meant Megazip.net, I checked the pricing and it is almost identical to Lexus dealerships.

 

Does Megazip have real time inventory? Or you order, they check then tell you if said part is available. I checked a few parts, Amayama was 20% cheaper.

 

My experience has been that it ships with 3-5 days.

I am not sure what part you were looking at but I just ordered and received two rear struts for my 2006 SC 430 and they were $127.09 each or $254.18. When I changed the rear struts on my sons 2005 SC 430 I could not get them from Japan/Megazip because they were out of stock. I got them from Disc Monster Lexus parts and delivered the same strut from in the US cost $471.15. The other parts I ordered from Japan for the job added another $117.15. I ordered all the same part but I was able to get it all from Megazip and delivered from Japan it cost me $355.06. So the sons parts were $588.30 and mine were $355.06 and mine shipped from Japan. So I have found even with shipping ordering OEM parts through Megazip is way cheaper.

Thank you! I appreciate everybody sharing the experience.

 

I did just that for my air shocks, at a considerable savings using an eBay seller. I've linked one of my prior posts on that subject.

 

I bought a set of 2010 mirrors to fit to my 2008 LS, from an ebay seller from UAE. No problems.
