FAQs

Some answers to your questions you may have whilst browsing our site:

What do you do?

We spend a lot of time browsing 6-7 online flea market sites for rare automotive literature and parts in Japan. We organise monthly shipments that combine multiple items to save on the shipping cost. Our site contains items that are already in the UK, ready to send to you.

What is stopping me from purchasing directly from Japan?

Nothing! We just purchase multiple items at once so the shipping cost is dramatically reduced. Through us, you don't need to search for the item, the cost to you is clear and you know you are buying something in great condition. 

What is a Hyper Rev?

Hyper Rev, Gold Car, K-Car are all examples of Japanese Automotive Encyclopedias. They go through all the modifications and OEM options that were available for the cover car at the time. Blog post coming soon!

Okay, how can I know if a magazine contains what I am looking for?

Good question, and a problem we experience on the auctions every day. We do 'Stash Scans' on our Instagram @thejdmstash every few days or just shoot us a message of what you are looking for and we can see which magazine suits you best. 

You are very magazine focused, why is this?

Honestly, the literature part of this has been a hobby of mine for years, so I have a head start when it comes to sourcing these kind of products. As I learn more, through your requests and my own reading, I will dive more into the massive parts market, especially multi-fitment items such as gearknobs, interior parts and wheels. 

The item I want is out of stock, when will it be available?

If the item is on the website and out of stock, that means we have no available UK stock. In the meantime, anything that does sell out will be prioritised when we are sourcing new stock. Keep in mind these items are difficult to find, so please be patient whilst we find ones in good condition for you. As we grow, we hope to be able to secure more of each item, to give everyone the opportunity. 

I don't live in the UK, can I still purchase your items? 

At this moment in time, we are focusing on the UK Rare and Vintage Market, so we currently only offer shipping to UK addresses with Royal Mail. Though, who knows what may happen in the future!
