I watched and listened as all did their praises of Mr T. I was skeptical at first, but have become a believer - almost.
My rear rack is inbound after order processing by Mr T. There are no more ground shipments when dealing with 1-offs from overseas. The only way something is viable "ground" is if you intend to fill up an entire sea container with your items and then it is apx 8 weeks enroute - due mostly to processing. The actual shipment takes 2-3 weeks. So, apx $50usd for "air" is not too bad.
It took 2 days for processing and shipment to NY (receiving area - why there vs LA or west coast beats me). I should receive my rack this week - then I'll be a full believer. Tracking info along the entire journey is very timely and detailed. I was pleasantly surprised that the USPS system is able to use the original EMS tracking number assigned by Japan Post. Not a bad way to get parts after all. Thanks everyone.
