Just enter the JapanPost number (e.g. EN#######JP) on the USPS website and that should work to give you the USPS tracking information. USPS doesn't provide a new USPS number they simply use the JapanPost number.
Mine arrived yesterday in NY and will be delivered to me in NJ tomorrow! Pics to follow when I get back home tomorrow night.

Aha! Thank you for the tracking tip---holy crap, USPS shows delivery scheduled for today! (drinks) Happy Holidays to us!
So looks like JapanParts.com beats Parts-Sale.jp on delivery time. Both you and Candurin should get this Xmas gift on time. Poor Agon who did all the legwork has to wait at least until January 25th!Aha! Thank you for the tracking tip---holy crap, USPS shows delivery scheduled for today! (drinks) Happy Holidays to us!
Any reason why you didnt get gen-2 JDM rear headrests? I bought my gen-1 JDM rear headrests at the Mazda dealer in Taiwan a while ago. But Id seen pictures of gen-2 JDM rear headrests they look different. They look significant thicker than gen-1s.I ordered the gen 1 low profile Japan headrests from Japanparts in black leather for my 2019 Reserve. I got them last week. I really like them. Definitely improves the rear view & no fiddling to fold the seats down. From the day I ordered until I received them was 3 weeks. Much quicker than I anticipated.

OK, got it. I found comparison pictures between gen-1 and gen-2 CX-5.Somewhere in one of these threads is a picture of a gen-1 JDM on one side & a gen-2 JDM on the other. I just like that the gen-1 are slightly lower. I almost never have back seat passengers & like the improved rear view. They look fine in my Reserve.
Thanks for the info. While 1st-gen CX-5 rear headrest should be able to fit into the holes on 2017 CX-5 with the posts, but the shapes between the two definitely are different.

2016 CX-5 JDM rear-seat headrests:
Thiss common nowadays to use a US bank credit card trying to purchase something overseas online. I had similar experience with my Bank of Americas Visa card. Therere too many frauds going on and those US banks have to be much more defensive than before to protect themselves.⋯
Bottom line - don't use CitiBankVisa for overseas purchases unless you routinely do such transactions. }I'm irritated enough to just quit them altogether. If I'd of known what a PITA they would cause, I likely wouldn't of bought these. BTW, this was an account with no carried balance (paid off each month) and my FICO score is north of 800. I resent them treating me like I did something wrong just attempting to make a purchase.
Unlike gen-1 CX-5, I noticed the JDM center rear headrest is a little different from US center rear headrest. US center headrest has stitches showing on front face, like the US side headrests; but the JDM center headrest doesnt show stitches on front, like JDM side headrests.Disclaimer. In no way am I a decent photographer. Tried to take some comparison shots of US vs JDM.
Got nervous because the headrests absolutely look black at first glance in the packaging. I thought they sent the wrong ones! The JDM ones are noticeably better. I can see a LOT more of the rear view window now.
