Oil Testing - Canada

Just having some issues with customs on an oil sample being set from Canada to Blackstone in the USA.

Just wondering if there are any Canadian alternatives that members have used. Alternatively, what do Canadian meters that use Blackstone do to ensure the shipment is not held by customs.

Thank for the help.

Cheers,

Call Blackstone and ask for their help. I'm sure they've had non-US customers.

Otherwise, try Polaris Labs. They have a Canadian location.

I will get in touch with Blackstone on Monday.

I will also look into Polaris labs. Thank you for the suggestion.

Cheers,

I remember sending an oil sample from Spain to Blackstone many years ago. It eventually made it!

In the past, neither have I. Of course, the one time I want it done quickly, it gets held up.

Hopefully it will be released tomorrow. Blackstone people are awesome and helped out with getting it cleared.

Murphy is a dick sometimes.
