The Bodybuilders Thread!

Ah - thanks - just looking into how much ordering from overseas will save.

EDIT: Just noticed you did mention that - sorry.

It'll save you alot, Dischem are robbing us, so are 'rage nutrition' (the site that was spamming us a few months ago, and every other nutrition store in the country
The only way to make it cost effective without splitting the delivery fee with someone is to order a few months supply, only prob is you need to outlay like 3k, im about to order 2x 2KG whey, 2x 2kg cassein, and 3x m-stack
It'll cost R3272.53 with shipping and customs
The same goods would easily cost R4900 at Dischem (and you too, ragenutrition - you get a special mention because I know you guys monitor these forums)

These ****ers should all be investigated for price fixing
ESPECIALLY if you take into account these are regular retail prices, considering they buy it in bulk they no doubt get it for alot less than what we pay buying from online sites in the US

Daylight robbery really

hey nivek - id be interested in joining ur order what would just the casien and 100% whey cost me?

 

[xrapidx]

I want Casein purely as before bed shake - but so bloody expensive here.

2KG's of both?

R1210 with customs, I'm not sure how much dischem charges these days but I dont think its much of a saving,

If you take a PWO like jack3d or no xplode, or something like animal pack and want to add it thats where you'll really save.. Or if you add another 100% whey it goes up to R1665, so that works out to about R555 per tub of whey and cassein

you on MSN?

 

[nivek]

Wtf, supplier no longer takes CC's from .za
I regret mentioning their name on this forum now I hope some scammer didn't **** it up for the rest of us

 

[xrapidx]

You kidding?

Do they take paypal?

EDIT: They do

 

[nivek]

EDIT: They do

No they dont
It says 'paypal unavailable'
I've been using this site for over a year now, mention it on mybb and a week later they remove our option to pay with cc

Either someone used a fake card or Dischem/rage/etc/Optimum SA complained about them eating into their market share
OR its just coincidence

I mailed them, will see what the response is

 

[xrapidx]

Lemme know. (by pm if you want).. I was busy getting guys together for a large 10k order

The bottom of their site has a paypal logo...

I see we've been added to the list of countries that they only accept secure wire transfers from

I guess someone scammed them
Lesson learned, if I find another supplier I'll only pm its name

 

[xrapidx]

Good idea ... I'm going to message them about paypal

I edited out the site name in my post as well just in case

 

[*SynergyX*]

let me know what happens im still interested in joining ther order.....

 

[nivek]

Yep, we are blacklisted

 

[graytg]

Hey guys, i know bodybuilding.com doesnt take CC's anymore, gave them a call a month ago and apparently the wire transfers were the only way. Decided to rather buy the supplements at www.sbmuscle.com Their prices are in line with bodybuilding.com 's and they do accept credit cards (although you have to verify that its ur card - which is easy). Ordered from them last month, my order is at customs in SA atm waiting to get notified to pick it up.

Anyone check them out yet?

 

[nivek]

Nice site gray

 

[xrapidx]

They don't have the double jack3d special

EDIT: And their shipping is more expensive

 

[graytg]

Yeah but ull still save compared to bodybuilding.com if you had to pay the fee for the transfer of Western Union...

I used jack3d as a base for all the sites - on this site because of the more expensive shipping it ends up the same price as SA after import duties... obviously this might change if you order in bulk.

 

[graytg]

yeah i also picked up on some items there might be the same, luckily mine was still a saving so its cool

But just thought its a bit easier than doing the whole western union thing..

Btw why jack3d? have you considered seeing how Gaspari Nutrition Superpump 250 or the new Gaspari Nutrition MAX might work? Have been on the Superpum 250 for some time and it definately is a good pre workout supplement. Ordered the MAX as they say its even better that the 250.
