Importing New Original Spare Parts To Nigeria by roosebolton: 8:34am On Sep 13, 2013
Hi guys, giving the pathetic state of the Nigerian spare part market which is completely dominated by fakes. I have decided since it's virtually impossible to get original spare parts in the path, might be the best thing is to consider getting them online from reputable sites like amazon (which has a huge car parts division).. I have seen the prices of the parts quoted on amazon and am surprised to find that they aren't as expensive as one would think.. Anyway I intend to imports the parts I need for the car I just got (a Mazda 3) mainly shocks, oil filter, breakpads, and Positive crankcase ventilation (the default is prone to defect which can lead to excessive oil usage)

As anyone here imported the parts needed by his car online before? if yes, what was the experience like and how much am I likely to pay as import duty if parts are shipped by USPS Priority Mail Express International.

Also I really would rather get my parts here in NIgeria, so if anyone knows where I can get original parts anywhere in Nigeria (preferably) abuja, kindly let me know. Price is not a consideration.

Amazon US doesn't ship to Nigeria. Amazon UK does ship to Nigeria, but not auto parts, only books, CDs, DVDs, clothing. Items that are easy to insure basically, because if your shipment goes astray, they have to replace it at their own expense and unlike in organised countries they can't trace packages that get lost in the mail. Another way in which Nigeria has been systematically excluded from sectors of the global economy. You'll need to have someone in the US or UK to whom you can have the parts sent to for onward delivery here through one of these courier companies like IFEX.

Thanks for this imformation, I thought ebay didn't use to ship to Nigeria? also did you pay any import duty or you paid just the cost of shipping. Lastly what mode of payment was accepted by ebay?

Many after markets parts out there are really good and have been made to meet OEM specs. In many cases they are even better than the OEM parts by fixing known defects in the latter. An example is the oil filter for my mazda and even the Pcv both have better after market parts compared to OEM. You just have to do some research and due diligence on the part u intend on getting. Check what the street cred of the after market part maker is.

We deal in OEM parts delivered direct to your door.

Try [url]___[/url]

We know many have been duped on Nairaland

So we sign a legal agreement with you covering 1. your purchase and 2. The shipment from overseas to Nigeria.

We also give you a quote that includes official custom charges so your goods will not be confiscated.

https://www.nairaland.com/1366578/worried-fraud-here-carparts.com.ngs-terms

Also note that when do business with [url]---[/url], you are not dealing with a faceless individual who can grow wings and disappear into thin air but with a limited liability company incorporated under the laws of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and that has been in business since the early 2000s with a name/reputation to protect.

If we default, you can take up the matter with Corporate Affairs Commission, EFCC, the police or even the courts thus setting the machinery of state against the company and its directors, but we won't default.

We also have an office in Abuja.

SO its up to you to decide who to deal with but rest assured dealing with us cannot be a wrong choice!

We can give you a free no-obligation quote here: [url]---[/url]

NOTE:
[i]When shopping for replacement parts, we will need the make, the model, the year of the car as well as the VIN. You don’t need to have the number of the part, but if we have all the details above, then we will be able to guarantee providing you with an EXACT FIT, which is what you really want – that it fits the first time and works like it did from the factory.

This is so because even identical cars of the same year can use a different power steering pump or alternator.

By doing the above, we eliminate the need to do costly returns because the part does not fit, we thus save you money and make you happy with us the first time and all the time.



[/i]Delivery Options include: Next International Flight, 5 days, 7 days, 14 to 21 days or 30 days it all depends on your pocket and the size of the shipment


NOTE II:

I am not saying every individual who carries on business here is a fraud because they are a few honest people who believe their name is worth more than cash. All I am saying is Caveat Emptor! Because its pretty easy for an individual to escape the law and change his home, office, telephone numbers, etc and aliases not so for a company.

Very possible bro. But personally, I wouldn't be looking at cosmetics just yet. I would first get the mechanical side assessed, and see what she needs to get her up and running. It's possible all she needs to run is a battery, fresh gas, spark plugs and leads, rotor arm and distributor cap. All of which are readily available in Nigeria.

I'm not sure how long the car's been left sitting, and if it's a carburetor or fuel-injected model, but if she's fuel-injected, likely she'll need a new fuel pump. Stale fuel plays havoc with electric pumps, and they often seize up.

You can also shoot me an email.

its goin to 2years now the engine has been left reduntant. I dn't knw yet whether to rework or to get another engine; possibly, am
reworking on it but if i get much funds,then am swaping the engine for a W202 kompressor engine.
Its a carburettor engine anyway.
Am currently budgetin N50,000 for the engine work and some mechanical aspects and over N150,000 for the rest of Job..
Am starting a thread on this restoration tommorow as soon as i get the car pictures and will keep updating once i keep getting free will donations and sponsorships from big fishes on Nairaland especially.
