Many people bought supps from Bodybuilding.com? Usually buy from Shotgun but was just comparing prices and seems with current exchange rate would work out quite a bit cheaper for what I am wanting even with delivery cost. Keen to hear about peoples experiences good and bad....

Never had any problems, Always arrives about a week later. With delivery it always pays to buy a bunch of stuff so its even cheaper. Just keep it under the tax amount so you dont get nailed at customs. Had the pay extra tax or you dont get your stuff phone call a couple times before I learnt my lesson.

Yeah bb.com is the best solution if your buying the international brands. Gaspari, Optimum Nutrition etc, and or if your buying specific supplements ie, ginger extract. Dont forget to load up with some 1 serving samples :D, they arnt exactly afree because yo upay extra for shipping them but not bad to trial some stuff.

Shipping can take up to a month to get to nz, dont freak out its on its way, and as Yeah buddy said, dopnt spend over $400 or you'll be paying another 130ish for customs

was thinking about making as big order on bb.com, but was unsure on how much i was aloud to spend without getting stung with customs taxes, how do you work it out? :)

15% gst is calculated on your bill in nz dollar on top of fright charges aswell.if the tax amount is under 60 dollars they wont bother

im pretty sure you can spend up to $400NZ before you get taxed. i have never gone above this amount but come close.

also BB.com are becoming a bunch of pussy's they wont ship products that may get seized even if they are totally fine in NZ. there shipping takes weeks, unless you pay a fortune to get it in a week. my last 2 orders mid way though last year were complete nightmares, there customer service is horrible to deal with. they are like a bunch of repetitive robots. I won't deal with them again.

i sugest Muscle & Strength - Cheaper products than BB.com, Faster shipping.

or Nutraplanet - products price about the same as BB.com Shipping is amazingly fast and cheaper.

You should have no problem getting superpump MAX though customs

just my 2 cents.....

BS, the faster option is cheap and safer, maybe you aren't ordering a heavy enough package dude

What ingredients wont they let through for you? It wont let me get ZMA's or GABA through and some multi vitamins or EFA's

i was gana give test freak ago, wouldnt send it, i was gana do a few cans of M-Stak cos it works! but they won't send it. it seemed to me that every thing i put on my list they would not send.

nutraplanet will send anything at ya own risk, and will even put a note on ya invoice (that customs will read) that the products are non hormonal and abide by there international shipping policy. even when i ordered 2 lots of HAVOC ! which is a PH. great bunch of guys there. M&S are much the same.

i have never seen the faster delivery cheaper?? normally about 25 30 buck USD more. in my experience.

Like I said perhaps you aren't going heavy enough, it looks like you by smaller stuff. I get my waxy maize, some protein, BCAA's, aminos and some other stuff through them and works out cheaper on the faster option. Try making up a fake order with a couple of 10lb items and see what comes up for you just to test it out
