Buying supps on-line

    Someone mentioned recently that the Irish Medicine Board was stopping anything from bodybuilding.com, even if it didn't contain anything suspect. Are there any other websites that I should avoid if I'm ordering on-line?

    Yep, anything from the t-nation store (ie. Biotest) as far as I know is stopped on sight and popped in the customs cage for further "investigation".

    Even if its stopped by customs and sent to the IMB you'll be notified (by both) and if your stuff is legal its a matter of collecting it or have them forward it onto you.

    You wouldn't believe the stuff I've had stopped over the year's ;) - I even had some vetinary products stopped, when questioned I just had to satisfy them (customs/post office) that the stuff wasn't being used on animals :D collected my products and went on my merry way :pac: Woo Hoo.

    But if you can avoid all that just for supp's take the advice of the other lads here and order from elsewhere.

    Ok, I'll avoid BB.com and Biotest. Anyone know anything about 1fast400 or evitamin.com?

    I've had stuff stopped by the IMB before and it took about a month of endless e-mails to get them released. I'd rather not go through that again.

    I've ordered from 1Fast400 before with no problem...but it's been a while.

    I have an order on the way at the moment so I will let you know if it gets through.

    Ok thanks, there's a couple of things they have in stock that I would like to order, but not if it's going to be stopped.

    Im pretty sure bb.com has an agreement with IMB that they dont ship anything on the banned list to ireland. I tried ordering speed [the supplement] and they wouldnt send so you should be ok

    also they send by fedex which im pretty sure customs wont stop unless very suspicious

    Just to let you know, my 1FAST400 order arrived yesterday safe and sound, unopended by customs.

    Very good to know. I've bought from them in the past and always found them good.
