Just thought its wise to warn Kenyans here iam a car seller and i source all my cars from SBT japan. For one year i have had no problem with them until now when i ordered 5 units worth 32700usd and paid 4 units in full. My cars move very fast so i had factored thet i would clear the already paid units sell within 2wks(i do it every time) and then pay sbt balance for the 5th unit which arrives 10th oct a mere 5800usd but walas i was wrong the 4 fully paid units have arrived and sbt has declined to release the documents of even 1 unit until the 1 in the high seas is paid for. I have gone ahead and paid the 5th unit in full but still no documents this is a warning dont fall victim.

SBT Japan like many used car exporters is facing considerable difficulties financially. Competition , stronger Yen and tight domestic regulations will break many exporters.

thanks Tokyo, i paid for a unit in mid aug, but it arrives in nov very annoying and despite pushing them for an explanation, they didn't offer any.

At this rate, maybe we should say IBC is reliable, for now ?
SBT was once, really Good.

they're indicating to have a ship arriving on 20th with several units, i await to see if the issue was temporary or bankrupt. and speaking of which, @Tokyo which news portal for Japanese news(english) can one catch up on the business environment in Japan?
