Bangkok, Thailand Worldwide shipping

How we ship motorcycle parts worldwide from Bangkok

 —  Ordering & shipping

We ship motorcycle parts worldwide from two supply countries rather than one warehouse, and “worldwide” here is a fact checked per destination rather than a badge printed on a page. This guide is about where a box can go and where it starts from.

Parts, not complete motorcycles

Two very different jobs share this phrase. Moving a whole machine is freight: crating, a bill of lading, a broker and a port. Moving a box of components is a parcel, and almost nothing about the first job applies to the second.

This page is about the parcel. If you want a complete Thai-market machine moved, that is container work with a one-container minimum and it lives on our motorcycle export page.

Everything below follows the commercial terms on our order policy, the parent of this guide.

Where “worldwide” actually reaches

The international postal system is a treaty organisation rather than a company. The Universal Postal Union has 192 member countries and has coordinated the network since 1874, which is what lets a label written in Bangkok mean something in another country’s sorting office.

Membership is not the same as availability. Each country keeps its own prohibitions and restrictions on top of the agreed ones, services to individual destinations are suspended and restored, and a route that ran last year may not run this month.

So we publish no country list. Coverage to your address is checked when we quote, against what is operating that week, which is a more useful answer than a slogan.

Two supply countries, and why that changes your answer

Most shops despatch from one building. We do not: goods leave from the supply source, and the source is either Thailand or Japan depending on the machine and the item.

That is structural rather than promotional. The two origins are served by two national postal administrations, with two destination lists, two sets of national restrictions and two transit patterns to the same street.

Which origin your order leaves from

Thai-market machines are supplied from here: Wave 125, Sonic 125, Zoomer, KSR110 and the Thai CBR150R. Japanese-market and global models are usually supplied from Japan, as set out on our parts from Japan hub.

You do not pick the origin; the component does. What you can do is send the whole list at once, because a mixed order is where the origin question actually bites.

What it takes to ship motorcycle parts worldwide, order by order

The table is arranged by your situation rather than by carrier, because the carrier is the last decision and not the first. The final column doubles as the enquiry checklist.

Your situation Origin What that means in practice What we need from you
Thai-market machine, express service running to you Thailand Straightforward postal despatch from Bangkok Frame number or the numbers, and the full address
Japanese-market machine, express service running to you Japan Sent from the Japanese source, not routed via Bangkok The numbers, and the delivery address
Order holds items in both countries Both May travel as two consignments, each with its own postage and customs entry Confirmation that two arrivals are acceptable
No express service from either origin Either International parcel service instead, on a different timescale Your patience, and a confirmed address
A battery, liquid or aerosol is in the order Depends Whether it can fly is decided by the origin country, not by us Tell us before we quote
Too large or heavy for a parcel Either Air cargo or freight, cleared by you at your end Dimensions and weight
A complete motorcycle Thailand Container export, one container minimum Model, quantity and destination port

The row that surprises people is the third. One quotation can hold a Japanese genuine item and something made here, and those two things sit in two countries.

When there is no express service to your country

Postal express does not run everywhere, and where it does not the order is not refused. We fall back to the international parcel service for countries with no express service from Japan or Thailand, which is a different product with its own timescale and rules.

Our published timings are the two we can stand behind: postal EMS at four to seven days, and postal air parcel at about two weeks. Genuine items drawn from Japan are normally available in about four working days when not on back order, which is a stage before anything is posted.

How each service prices a box, and what a courier adds, are covered where they belong: EMS shipping for motorcycle parts and DHL shipping for motorcycle parts. There is nothing to add to either here.

What decides the route before the price does

Batteries, liquids and aerosols are the classic examples, and the point is that whether they travel is decided by the origin country’s post and its civil aviation authority. The Universal Postal Union classes everyday items such as lithium batteries, cleaning fluids and perfume as dangerous goods, carried only where a national authority permits and within limits on cells per package.

Size does the same thing. Once a consignment outgrows a parcel it becomes cargo or freight, cleared by you at your end. Tell us about any of this before we quote rather than after.

Frequently asked questions

Do you send to my country?

Very probably, and we will tell you for certain when we quote. It depends on what the origin country’s post is running to your destination at that moment, so a checked answer beats a promised one.

Can parts from two countries arrive in one box?

Not usually. Goods held in Japan and goods held in Thailand are physically apart, so combining them means moving one lot to the other first, which adds cost and time. Most mixed orders are cheaper as two consignments and we will say which way we recommend.

Who pays the import duty?

You do, and your own customs authority assesses it on the declared value. Rates differ by country and by commodity, so a call to them before a large order is time well spent.

Asking whether we can send to your country

Give us the list of items and quantities, and the full delivery address including country and postcode. Say whether cost or speed matters more. If anything is a battery, a liquid or unusually large, put that in the same message.

Quotes come back in Thai Baht on a CIF basis, the goods FOB with carriage folded into one figure. Payment is by bank transfer, by secure card link, or by PayPal. Once a consignment has shipped we cannot take it back except for a manufacturer’s fault, and nothing returns to Thailand.

Send it through the quote request form. If you are unsure what to include, our note on making a parts enquiry lists it; the model index and the parts hub show what we cover, and our dealers are the shops abroad already receiving these parcels.
