Ordering AutoRX from Canada

[mazda323]

New to the board and I'd like to say you guys know your oil.

I have a 92 323 with 235000 kms. It leaks a bit and is beginning to show it's age. I'd like to order the 3 bottle AutoRX deal, but I'm a bit apprehensive.

Well I have some questions:

Do I really need 3 bottles? Can I get away with using one?

Three bottles with the exchange and shipping are going to cost me over $100 CND, so I'd like to know what will this stuff do for my car?

How do I go about using AutoRX on my mazda?

Has anyone from Canada ordered AutoRX?
Were there any problems with shipping and customs?

Does AutoRX have a dealer up here in the north?

One more question not having to do with AutoRX. After an anti-freeze bottle has been opened up, what's the shelf life of the left over anti-freeze?

Thanks in advance and I appreciate any help.

Order online as I have from Australia. Turned up in 6 days. Thats service.

Oh and I have a Mazda 626 turbo which was the initial RX test vehicle. Has 205,000kms on it now and I believe you definitely need 3 bottles. Follow high mileage procedure to the letter on RX site with dino oil and results are guaranteed.

No dealers up here. I had no problems ordering it, and it got sent through regular mail so the fees were lower. Don't get it sent via UPS, they charge too much in brokerage fees.

Thanks for the replies.

Patman, when you order you only have one choice for delivery. On the web site I checked out the delivery fee and it replied $14 US. I'm assuming it will come through regular mail this way?

Seriously, I would call and do a 'manual' order. When I tried to use the Auto-RX website a few months ago it appeared to take orders from Canada, but not really, and it kept failing; then I called it in.
NOT Frank's fault, he has a fine product and didn't program or write the site, know what I mean?
I for one asked that it be sent the slowest, cheapest method. I cannot echo enough what Patman said about UPS. My by-pass filter cost me $80 in brokerage fees to get across the border so I am no fan of UPS.
BTW, as you are new-ish, a hearty welcome!

No, I just remembered that after I placed my order, I sent Frank an email and specifically requested that the order be shipped by regular post instead of UPS.

All Auto-Rx Orders shipped by USPS P

I ordered on line with no problems. I can't even remember if it arrived via mail or UPS. I think if I had a problem I would have remembered. I'm going to check my Credit card statement to see what the various charges were.

 

[rob-the-oil-nut]

Anything on ye ol' credit card statement yet?
I implore you to do the double treatment at the very least. You MAY be able to tell people in the future as to the effect of the third on an engine of that age / mileage but if I were you I'd do 3 if Frank suggests it. Frank knows Auto-RX, and even former skeptics agree that Auto-RX does what it is advertised to do.
I for one have no reason to do a triple treatment on MY engine (history of engine, etc) but if enough people ask me to....

Mazda 323-All Canadian Orders ship USPS Priority unless another shipper requested. Please visit new FAQ on www.auto-rx.com it will provide most answers to your question posted above.

You could try to have it shipped to a Mailboxes (i think that's what the are called). Just border hop, pick up your bottles and screw customs. Or ask for the value to be written as $10 for customs.

I'm about to place an order.How is it shipped to Canada?

And, is there a chance that my order will get stuck at customs?

So you can get it to Oz...quicker then I can get it in Washington State??? Last time took 8-9 days and I ordered again and am schedsuled to get this order on Tuesday( 13 days after I ordered..but there was a holiday in there)...BTW does not arrive via USPS ..comes Air born express "ground service "

I think that means 20 mule train..but hey ..not really complaining...they could charge $12.00 shipping and "handling" but instead he send it for free.

If you get it shipped straight to Canada, make sure that the value of your package is $10 and not a cent more.

$10 packages will fly through customs, anything higher and you're stuck with brokerage fees and custom fees.

 

[mazda323]

I'm sure they know that at Auto-Rx?

That has nothing to do with me!

I'm ready to order as long as I have the assurance that it will not get stuck at customs with an additional charge. This stuff is expensive as it is.
