Hey guys I just did a survey for bodybuilding.com and they gave me a 10% discount code.
It seems to be just overall generated and I don't think its personalised to my email. If anyone was going to purchase stuff anyways (theyre really cheap - except for protein which is due to delivery costs) then have a go with the coupon code. If it doesn't work please post up so I can ask a mod to remove this thanks :)
Jack3d is fine, had it shipped before. BB.com is very well informed when it comes to importing substances. Takes about a month to get to you though (my experience)
You can buy oxyelite Pro in australia though? I've bought PharmAssault before and it took over a month cause i think they were going through it in customs. Just be aware that it might take a while to arrive. I also bought Creatine Ethyl Ester and that arrived a lot quicker (since it was a small bottle) and saved me about 20bucks!
OEP has been banned for awhile now, but it was only recently they started to enforce it (July)
Oh really, good to know! Yeah my friend was using it a few months back which was why I was wondering. Some of my friends get jacked up on it whilst others crash and feel really depressed. If the manufacturer's claims are true, and it does have adrenergic and serotonergic effects, it can mess with your mood. Probably why it was banned…
I'm not 100% on this, but I think it could be the 1,3 dimeth that does it (which isn't banned). I've heard people getting a stronger 'high' from Dexaprine which you can buy locally
Nah DMAA is fine. It contained trace elements of Yohimbine, pretty sure thats why it got banned.
I purchase OEP back in Feb and I still havent finished it( it has a MASSIVE crash for me…) The main substance in question is the 1, 3 dimeth. dont take too many…and never take it if you are taking jack3d. If you insist you should at least take it alternatively.
hate how all these companies cover up their ingrediants and calling it " propetary blends"
I have gotten Jacked and also Optimum Creatine Mono, and caffeine tabs (last one cos it was free, its sitting here somewhere unused) from bb.com
I remember receiving an email from them saying they are now sending protein to Australia. I am not sure if it is specific brands only, but once you count in the freight, its expensive unless you buy 3 or more 10 LB bags. With 10% off though, makes it more enticing. esp with the $ going back up
Oh really! If thats true, then protein bars should be significantly cheaper! I use to eat "oh yeah" but BB wouldn't ship them from america. I think they were like 1.50 a bar or something. Over in australia they cost over $4 and that was what I paid for them. Since they're low in weight, Theyre not that expensive!
We are sorry, the following item(s): Optimal Protein Diet Bars, Optimal Protein Diet Bars cannot be shipped to the country you have selected. Please return to cart and remove the item(s). Not sure if this applies to powdered protein but the protein bars still have the problem :S
Gaspari Myofusion and Higher Power Whey Protein are allowed into Australia.
It's not really worth it because the shipping weights.
The 2-for-1 deal that they had going on Higher Power 5lb tubs at the start of the "Australian Protein" launch made it worth it but that is now gone.
Why does everyone like Jack so much? Seems all the nerdie group love it. Shits terrible for you better preworks out there for sure.
I got it because it has creatine and beta alanine in it. 2 things i know are proven to be beneficial pre workout. (Learnt in a university nutrition lecture lol)
Plus caffine, because that works for me too.
Thats all i need in a pre workout supplement, and Jack3d was a good price for a decent amount.
It also has 1,3-Dimethylamylamine HCL in it, which i guess works something along the same lines of caffine, i could probably do without that in there, but anyway I like Jack because i know it works for me.
There's always 10% coupon. Just google "bodybuilding.com comeback coupon" or alternatively "http://www.bodybuilding.com/comebackdiscount.htm". And yes Jack3d gets through customs. I've never bought OEP from bb.com before but certainly have through ebay.
I usually buy all my supplements from vitacost.com. Price is comparable, if not cheaper in some cases, and they don't seem to have any problems shipping to Australia. An example is ON 100% whey, BB say they can't ship to Australia but I've bought this twice from vitacost and have had no problems at all.
what size tub did you buy from vitacost and how long ago
10 lbs ON, also bought ON creatine, 1 tub of Xtend (1kg) and 1 tub 1MR, all up cost $180 and that was about 3-4 months ago. Plan on buying another shipment as it takes about 1 month to arrive. I've used them twice now and haven't had a problem.
aussie dollar is up… time to stock up
If customs checks your parcel they'll stop it, protein can't be imported. You might have gotten lucky using a reasonably less known vendor, bb.com packaging is usually a red flag.
There isn't a problem with most proteins getting into Australia, that's an old rule that has been relaxed as long as 3 years ago.
Over the last few years I've imported numerous brands of protein and on a few occassions even got the lovely "your package has been inspected by customs" letter inside.
The only time I have ever had it checked twice was when we had a 2 box 17kg order for 3 of us. Delivery was delayed because customs wanted to check it twice.
According to the current rules most products will get through if they are under 3 months supply. The exception these days is typcally anything that will effect hormone levels
The rule is still in place. Protein will be seized if the egg content exceeds a certain threshold. Most protein distributors don't specify the egg content hence customs will usually stop it coming into the country. I've had tiny sample packets thrown in to my order by bb.com removed before having the rest of the items delivered to me.
Protein and yohimbine/rauwolscine (alpha-yohimbine) containing products are the main products that have a country block for Australia in place by bb.com
Xtend is allowed in as it is simply amino acids. Jack3d/1MR/Mesomorph/FlashOver/PreWorkOutOfTheMonth are also allowed in at the moment as 1,3-dimethylamylamine is yet to be banned in Australia.
used to love bb.com and order a lot from them. However, their delivery cost stinks.
I have now switched to iherb. free delivery to aus for under 1kg. DHL is as low as $10. Totally rapes bb.com
free delivery to aus? how? i have ON 100% whey 909gr in my cart and the delivery is $6
sorry you are right…last month it was free delivery.
"International Airmail $4.00
Orders up to $80.00, and 4 pounds (1814 grams)"
Yeah i'd also like to know this, i'm always looking for cheaper supps
I just ordered from BB (delivered in a week) and did a comparison check out including delivery with iherb.com and it was the same price in the end.
With BB.com I always use multiple coupons.
Looks like iherb will be better for smaller orders.
My order was $260!
Christ…
All I used to use (just TRYING to get everything back on track now) was Designer Physique Protein, Creatine and Glutamine! Screw supplement supplements…
My last shipment got lit-up anavite and some melatonin through customs
-
I came back from Hawaii in August with protein- customs said it was ok to take through! I was shocked! However they did seize my HGH complex :(
When importing protein and other goods customs require a ingredients list that must show all contents and their weight equal to a 100%. This paper is usually only given to distributors and not public sales. I think BB.com are now providing this paper work on your behalf. I asked a rep and they said more manufacturers will be allowed to ship to AUS in the near future.
I got 3 tubs of 1.M.R and I get insanely amped on it. 1 scoop and I'm ready to tear shit up in the gym! Got to take a break from stimulants every 4-6 weeks otherwise you get dependent on it and it also loses its effect. Not to mention stim dick :(
Make sure whatever you're buying can get through customs because bb.com parcels will get checked for sure. I.e. no protein, no banned substances (oxyelite pro). Think you can get jack3d through but im not 100%.
