HELLO GUYS

In my research about Yamaha parts and motors I found a real good offer from a HK company and its only 1250 dollars for a high trust 25 shaft Yamaha motor... i sent them an e-mail for further information, and i plan to take advantage of the offer if they accept a Letter of Bill -the way to go with a company you don't know.....

the same motor in USA has a retail price of over 3000 us dollar and in my country Uruguay its even over 4500 dollars each...

the webpage of the company is

hope some of you can take advantage of this.... will inform further news...

hello again guys

well, i have been working in export-import stuff in my former job... the ONLY way you can grant that you will will get what you want is by issuing the so called LETTER OF CREDIT(I was translating bad the first time,  heheh), i found this wiki explanation...

A letter of credit is a document issued by a financial institution, or a similar party, assuring payment to a seller of goods and/or services.[1] The seller then seeks reimbursement from the buyer or from the buyer's bank. The document serves essentially as a guarantee to the seller that it will be paid by the issuer of the letter of credit regardless of whether the buyer ultimately fails to pay. In this way, the risk that the buyer will fail to pay is transferred from the seller to the letter of credit's issuer.The letter of credit also insures that all the agreed upon standards and quality of goods are met by the supplier.

Letters of credit are used primarily in international trade for large transactions between a supplier in one country and a customer in another. In such cases, the International Chamber of Commerce Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits applies (UCP 600 being the latest version).[2] They are also used in the land development process to ensure that approved public facilities (streets, sidewalks, storm water ponds, etc.) will be built. The parties to a letter of credit are the supplier, usually called the beneficiary, the issuing bank, of whom the buyer is a client, and sometimes an advising bank, of whom the beneficiary is a client. Almost all letters of credit are irrevocable, i.e., cannot be amended or canceled without the consent of the beneficiary, issuing bank, and confirming bank, if any. In executing a transaction, letters of credit incorporate functions common to giros and traveler's cheques.

to make the long story short.. you can import your own stuff from everywhere - if you live in a free country where importing goods can be done by everyone- by making a letter with the conditions you want... you describe the good you want to buy - in this case by giving the EXACT details of the motor, including the factory reg. number if possible - what you can find online and just copy the tech details from the web, with that letter you go to your bank and issue the contract , once you give it you cannot resign it and the amount will be deducted from your bank account. you also need to put all the seller's name, address and further information. the content of the letter must have the previous agreement of the seller, so he can sign a copy as well. once signed and payed the contract cannot be revoked, unless both parts agree in this. it involves some bank costs , but isn't so much...

you can buy C&F (cost and freight) or FOB (free on board)

FOB

the seller will be payed ONLY after he issues the embarking/exporting documents (in this case maybe by FEDEX or other shipping company. you can also name a verification company to grant that the merchandise accomplish the letter of credit.

C&F

the seller makes all the arrangements , including the freight and will be payed once the motors are in your home country or even at your home door.... all depends on how you issue the letter of credit. to save time its better you make this C&F way and you make the importing procedure with a customs broker, it involves duties and other expenses , but normally its far less expensive than if you buy in your country...

in the case you DONT GET what you expected , you issue a claim and your money will be returned... simple like that. be sure that you put YOUR COUNTRY as the legal address to solve any dispute. a good customs broker has experience enough on how to do those letters of credit.

in my case , i will take this offer and sell the old motor for same or more money than the new ones will all the extra costs.. it makes sense... yesterday i bought spare parts for 700 bucks.... so 1250 + expenses doesnt look that bad maybe i get the whole thing for less than 2000 bucks or even less than 1700..

if the seller doesnt want to issue a letter of credit, then i would not buy, its probably a scam... a second payment way would be through PAYPAL .... but this requires that the seller make an agreement with that company.

about the warranty.... if the motor is a yamaha, either you get a warranty or not, you need to ask the seller about that, and include it in the letter of credit...

in any case.. i bought a brand new toshiba laptop at a BEST BUY shop with international warranty written in a paper, the damn thing worked for just 2 weeks on board , but the company would NOT honor the warranty, just in USA by best buy, which is not possible for me since the shipment would cost more than the computer itself.. so, in those good old days where you get what you expect are mostly gone. (think about the retirement money.... its fading away nowadays..)

Soyez prudent Alex Je n'aime pas le look de ce site, il est typique d'une escroquerie. Cliquez sur le lien de blog en bas de la page d'accueil .... WTF!
Aussi le pied de crédit et le droit d'auteur, sûrement Yamaha ne permettrait pas que son nom soit utilisé. Il ya un fil de discussion à leur sujet ici: http://www. thehulltruth.com/boating-forum/462024-these-outboard-pri ...

as I said.... without Letter of Credit would be a suicide send them money in advance...  but if they agree to accept it, I am covered of any scamming ... my Bank is the warrant of the operation.. its worth what they ask for commission...

i am familiar with export/import procedures... so time will tell if those guys are fake... 

cheers
