I find they have the best bulk discounts and send me coupons through email every couple weeks.

Now which store offers the best value? Therein lies the question. Consider delivery time, exchange rates, shipping costs, product value, selection, and retail prices for the Calgary shopper. I think we should provide a */5 rating guide for each of these websites and sticky it.

I've had experience with bodybuilding.com and supplementscanada.com. While bodybuilding.com had superior retail prices, they were susceptible to shipping costs and the exchange rate. Not too mention the supplements i ordered had to be cleared and checked at the boarder to ensure illegal substances weren't being trafficked. In that instance it took me 2 weeks to receive my order. 3/5

Supplements Canada on the other hand had higher Canadian prices, free shipping and i received my order within 2 days of placing it complete with free t-shirts, shaker cups and samples. 5/5

Be careful with foreign stores. Canadian customs is getting really thorough with the package checking. I had 3 packages seized so far this year. :banghead:

Good Idea. Will obviously need feedback from some of the other suggested sites from people, but was thinking Overall, Pricing, Shipping, Selection all rated out of 5, will need to keep any wording very concise as well.

Yes, but if you need your supplements in a hurry or have a hard time planning out what you're going to need to order weeks from now then don't bother. Your order may take up to 2-3 weeks to arrive if it doesn't get seized at the boarder.

Try some of the Canadian websites, ANYTHING is cheaper than GNC.

Before ordering any of the exotic named supplements check with Health Canada first.

Some weight loss ones contain things like yohambine or L-Carnitine are not allowed in for different reasons, but you should do some due diligence before ordering.

just did a comparison with www.supplementscanada.com
compared to www.bodybuilding.com pricing is pretty much on par by the time you add shipping and 20% exchange rate, and with supplements Canada you do not have to worry about your order being seized and im sure it will get here faster!

Only thing is that Canadian stores can't sell anything that would be seized.

What do you have in mind?

I like SupplementsCanada. Either that or BetterBodiesNutrition on 16th Ave by Peters.

which is good, because its a pain in the ass to find out what ones you can and can't bring across the boarder.

Prices are a bit steep, but they have a 100% money back policy. Not sure if it's USA only or what. Biotest seems to have decent products. :thumbsup:

No, in store prices are higher. Sometimes you have Popeye coupons to save in stores. Generally supplementscanada prices are better.

When I've used supplements canada it literally took 2-3 days for my order to arrive both times. I was incrediably impressed!
