Ricordo Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 I'm impressed. Purchased through Amazon a part for my 2005 Kia Sorento from a SK company. It was shipped out of Incheon, SK on February 1st (Korean time), arrived in Anchorage, AK yesterday, went through Customs in two (2) hours or so, and it is set to be delivered today in beautiful downtown Land O' Lakes, FL before 12:00 PM. Now... if I could get the USPS to get to me in Tampa something mailed from Miami in three (3) days, I'd be extremely lucky and grateful. Damn! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crockett Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 DHL Air has been like that for well over 10 years. Item ordered in Taiwan for example, arrives in less than 48 hours, for a decent price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricordo Posted February 2, 2021 Author Share Posted February 2, 2021 Here's the clincher. That part I tried to purchase from a dealer in Stuart, FL. Delivery estimated in 4 or 5 days. Ordered it and soon enough got a call from them that they couldn't deliver because it had been discontinued. That the only outfit in the US that had one, out of LA, had reserved it for another buyer. I call then the local Kia dealer. They have it, price $178.87. Mind you the dealer in Stuart was selling it for around $89.00 +- including shipping. Total cost for SK? $88.02 including shipping.

Dric902 Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 I was surprised when Amazon started delivering here on Sunday. But I’m in the sticks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
holyjohnson Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 with that kind of Service i`m Surprised the USPS hasn't been operating on a loss for more than a Decade. Kia and Daihatsu have always been difficult to get parts for, apparently they were striving for Impossible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
