    I decided im going to get supplements off the bodybuilding website as i think it works out cheaper to get them online rather than here, even if the shipping is quite expensive. I just wanted to ask people here from previous experience with them....

    1) are they reliable?
    2) were your orders on time and correct?
    3) were you charged tax on your incomming goods?

    Thanks very much

    I made one order which they cancelled and never bothered to tell me and ignored any e-mail i sent them.

    I haven't bothered with them since!!!!

    That said, i know that other people have had good experiences.

    Was your order a large order? i heard about one story where someone ordered alot of stuff(about 300 euros worth) and they had his order on hold asking him to provide ID and his credit card statement over the internet. The guy wasnt best pleased. So im a bit iffy bout going to them if this happened.

    Nope , mine was a very small order, just two bottles of BSN Nitrix for 60 dollars.

    I've ordered from them in the past, no hassle at all. They even marked down the value of the goods on my request so that I wouldnt be hit with a tax bill from the post office a few weeks down the line.

    Woeful for shipping internationally. Was waiting 8 months to get a refund for an order that I never received (which they finally admitted was never sent in the first place).

    I've never had any problems with Nutraplanet or BulkNutrition, both of which are cheaper than BB.com anyway.

    Certainly no import tax if bought from another EU country. I've never been charged any import tax for buying any supplements, but I can't say for sure if I just got lucky, or if there is no such tax on supplements.

    would you(or anyone here) happen to know of any good and reliable EU supplement sites that sell their products cheap? im sick of paying high prices here :mad:

    I sell at comparable prices, less if you include shipping and certainly quicker.

    If you're ordering online from states, there are cheaper sites too.

    Bad bad bad experience from bodybuilding.com - waiting over 2months for simple order

    Regularly use easygainer and have always gotten great supplements at fair prices.

    The guy i mentioned above who ordered his supplements from bodybuilding.com(about 300 euros worth) told me recently that they still charged him the full whack even though they cancelled his order. Now im defo not getting anything from them.
