So long story short I need some parts for a vintage YS helicopter engine. Ive found this site
https://www.yspower.co.jp/en/index.html and requested a couple of parts and they sent me a invoice for something like 2,400 YEN. Has anyone ever ordered from this site before? 2,400 YEN is only like $16 which includes "post & lift" charge of 600 YEN. 1,500 YEN for a carb subplate and 240 YEN for a carb gasket. Has anyone ever ordered direct from a company in Japan? $16 seems very cheap for the parts plus sending them to the USA, especially considering the prices on shipping here.

I found references to that website (listed as the US official website) as far back as 2003, so imo especially with the very low cost id personally feel ok ordering.

The site was legit. They sent me a Pic of the package addressed to me when it shipped via air mail. Shipping wasn't much longer than normal shipping. The cost of the part plus shipping is cheap enough that I don't mind waiting a day or 3 longer. The listed price for a YS 61 ST2 cylinder head is 2,800yen...$18.68.
