Ok check it out. You better know the guy who your paying pretty well before evena ttempting this. Listen to this.
I know a friend of mine that lost hundreds of thousands of dollars doing that. What he did was flew to japan, hand picked several 40' containers, full of type-R motors, etc etc, mitsu motors, turbo motors, etc...and then actually went down to the docks with the marked containers and watched them get loaded on the ship.
Then he flew back to long beach and waited for the containers, that were marked.
So the containers come in, the exact same ones he saw loaded on the ship. with the markings, and then he transported them to his place, opened them up and they were full of junk, with not 1 motor he loaded on there himself in there.
Turns out, the people who own the containers, the people he paid the money have the RIGHT to REMOVE the container from the ship after its loaded on the ship, fill it full of whatever they want, and ship you crap.
And I witnessed this rip off. secondarily, I have heard of that happening to several people. second hand. But that one was first hand. I knew the guy, I remember when he went to japan, when he came back, what happened, what was in the thing, etc.
So PAY MORE to buy from a source HERE, that already gets them reliably. So you can get your hands on the guy you are paying in a US Court.
Buyer beware.
