madmurf Posted November 25, 2004 Share Posted November 25, 2004 :thumbdwn: Yep mine has been once (October). I didnt want a December delivery so Im hanging out for a January delivery. Might save a couple of hundred dollars with the reduced import tax. Note its not through Jeff either Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/56885-anyone-having-problems-importing-there-car/#findComment-1100381 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Z!G Posted November 25, 2004 Share Posted November 25, 2004 Only one ship to Freo per month as madmurf said. I imported my gts-t in april this year through geoff, missed the ship by a couple of days so the car ended up coming in early to mid june. Expect around 3 weeks realistically for the car to get here once it leaves Japan Z.

Guest Posted November 25, 2004 Share Posted November 25, 2004 I had to help get ten cars on the boat out of Kyushu, we complained and it worked, last month we get a Supra on Tuesday and it was loaded on Saturdays boat. Pressure is the name of the game, your broker needs to earn his money and doing something which is better than nothing that is how we get it done. One dealer in Nagoyoa got 20 cars on with 2 weeks notice. Just keep on them.

SteveL Posted November 29, 2004 Share Posted November 29, 2004 all i know is that the supplier is MARK SCHUMANN That's the guy that supplied my car (89 GTR). It went on the boat in mid-September and arrived in Melbourne early October. Can't understand why you are having such problems. My car has turned out to be a bargain so I've got no complaints. Hope your luck improves. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/56885-anyone-having-problems-importing-there-car/#findComment-1104319 Share on other sites More sharing options...

ix9 Posted December 1, 2004 Share Posted December 1, 2004 These are all shit stories - Whatever happened to the importing through a broker being all very easy? you're all paying them to do thier job, yet having chasing them up!

regan Posted December 1, 2004 Share Posted December 1, 2004 [I'd be holding back part of thier service fee if this sh*t continues if I were you lot! I agree, $1100.00 "BuTT Tax" and having to wait up to three months for a vessel, The shippers and suppliers are alocated XXX berths per Month, if these are over subscribed the remaining vehicles go into a pool, or on "stand-by" with larger exporters being caught short!!!!. A distinct dis-advantage if you are using a BUTT TAX merchant!!!! That part of "We take the hassel out of importing" must be in SMALL print!!
