importing supplement

hey guys, i wanted to ask whether some of u have imported supps from overseas? like amazon.com or bodybuilding.com since its so much cheaper... and have u had any trouble?

Yeah from bodybuilding.com many and have learned my lesson.

what happened? please share your story

First two orders were fine and received them about 3 months after ordering even though they say about 3 weeks. Fine fair enough no harm done. Then the third and fourth shipment never arrived. A year later I get an e-mail from them saying the one package has returned to them, would I like to have it re-shipped or be reimbursed? The reason why things are so bad is because of SA customs. Pretty sure they used one of my packages as a doorstop and the other as a step ladder.

rather just buy at your local stores or from BSSA.. I went to customs to collect an item i bought off eBay. There was a guy collecting some supplements he bought online, he ended having to pay R1400 or something like that on duties and vat... so yeah, not worth it in my eyes.

When I was in New Zealand delivery off the site was around 5-7 days, no duties needed to be paid and it made it worthwhile.

Shipping too SA is terrible, customs take their sweet time and try shaft you at every turn. Once you add in duties, shipping and how weak the rand is it's not worth it.

Rather buy off BSSA or keep and eye out for some deals

Yip! BSSA is just as good as any other well know imported brand! Their products are all natural with no added shit! And the cost of your supplement will be halved.. I promise! More cash for gear! Lol! :woohoo: Too much hype around these other imported brands IMO! So happy I found BSSA! Thanks to this forum!

Yeah bud i.m.o BSSA's products are by far the purist on the market as well as cheaper. Only downside is their flavoring versus the bigger brands.
