All through Mr. Ali Raza kept calling me and updating me on the progress of the transaction. My pajero arrived in Kampala in superb condition.
I highly recommend SBT Japan. Or was I just I don't think so because they exhibited a high degree of professionalism and customer care.


Post Number 1 and unawapigia debe??

First unit (not 1st post) is more apt here! Let him/her import another unit and post the experience here.

Imported a car from them, arrived this month. Smooth with no hussles. Maybe they have improved.

A source at the port tells me the issue is if you want to buy one of the cars that they have already shipped to MSA. The Bill of Lading shows SBT as the importer, and as such, you will face many many issues with KRA, before the logbook is out in the purchasors name SBT don't do the duty payments/clearance themselves. They want the buyer to process the vehicle out of the port.

If there are no demurrage charges not so bad an idea. Do they have "cheap" 2006 units?

Thought the same thing too...

Thanks good people for your replies.

Just wired a payment hoping that their service has improved and the bad-name posts here were some isolated cases of a poor service period for the company.

Will let you know how the experience goes.

Regards.

They have really improved though a bit sloppy in their organisation in terms of delivery and processing. As someone put it, keeping in touch with their customer service department helps in terms of updates. I just collected a unit this last weekend after four weeks without a hustle.
