Just wondering whether there are any Australian Autopians out there planning a shipment of FK1 products? I just placed an order and the freight will cost as much as the products!! :scared: I am getting mine sent to Perth but a redistribution in Australia to share the cost would be a good option!

Nick,
yes the shipping costs will be steep. Organize a group buy!

What are the cheapest international freight options in the US? FK1 are proposing USPS...

That`s usually the cheapest. Once I tried to order a gallon of OCW. Shipping was US$140 via UPS. I cancelled.

i wanted to order 1 x 31oz of #425, and 1 x 31oz of FX-100,
total cost for product and shipping is $73.79 US
which equates to just over $100 australia here
but im in melbourne so the group buy wouldnt really work

PM replied...
how big were the products you ordered?
1 gallon or 31 oz?
if we do go with this id be up for 1 gallon of #425... which will jack the costs up

check your email!
ANYONE ELSE IN OZ WANT IN ON THIS SHIPMENT?!!
Hi mate, MAD IX may be interested as well. I`ve been getting stuff in from the US since 2001 and USPS is the way to go, either ground or air parcel post
He is sending me a sample of 2180 and 425 and I contacted FK1 by email
1 gallon sizes can be really expensive to ship here.

Hey Guys,
Another Aussie here.
I have been Hosed over the years with shipping.
I have loads of the Klasse Twins, and PS.
I even went to the trouble of Getting Zaino here in OZ. Wasn`t that a Painful and costly process.
Haven`t posed here in awhile, was just checking the latest stuff.
Regards MJ
Hi Mirror, I have gone pretty well with shipping, USPS is best and I recommend Premium auto care for DP, Wolfgang, Pinnacle and other bits (I get them in 1 gallon size)
Dwayne has cheaper shipping than fellow DP, WG and Pinnacle supplier who uses UPS (ouch)

Hey SVR,
I tried Wolfgangs as well. But it made me feel lazy. To few steps LOL
I just bought a new 350Z. Still deciding weather I will Zaino it and Top the Zaino with PS or weather I will go back to the Original Perfect shine technique.

Hey Thanks Lucaszcpm3,
I phoned Dave, he was a member of autopia years ago.
He has all the Good stuff. He is just 45 minutes from me.
I still have loads of Pinnacle products, Wolfgangs, Zaino and Zymol and Swissol.
He will be good to top up the Shampoo`s and QD`s. I like to match the products.
I think I will Multilayer Zaino the Z. See what Z18,Z7,Z5&ZFX x 2 , Z2 x 3 Looks like.
If thats not wet enough, I`ll top with PS. The Z is Brilliant Silver.

Dave is a top bloke, my competitor but we speak now and then on techniques and what`s new
