Thanks for the advice. I will probably hold off on the order and see what other stuff I can add to an order. The overall price wasn't a concern, but the recalculation to 3x the original shipping quote was a little off-putting.
Heath-
From my experience with Amayama, they ship extremely fast, once your order actually processes. Like 2 days to your door!
The shipping is high, in part because they use expedited air services. and in your particular case, I believe the regulator carries a surcharge, because it exceeds 300mm in one direction.
I think you are smart to order a lot of stuff at once because the shipping for each individual item becomes negligible.
The system is also very "Japanese". A lot of human layers. Amayama is the broker for lack of a better term. You get an agent that handles your order and has a rolling non-real time chat with you. THey coordinate purchases with the OE manufacturers. then they gather and inspect your parts (for accuracy?--you decide), then they ship.
