So I get an email from bb.com about musclepharm deals, great, I use Assault for pre-workout and buy when they do the buy 2, get 1 tub free. This is the deal for this product

*add to cart*

And then I get this error:

ERROR
Due to customs restrictions your order may not contain more than 90 days supply of any individual product. Please adjust the quantity of the following products in your cart to ensure that your order does not exceed this limit (total day's supply shown in parentheses): MusclePharm Assault (96).

......real? Tried adding some vitamins and omega 3, over 90 capsules of each and yep can't order it either.

This sucks :banghead: Been a customer of that site for over 5 years and now I'm probably going to switch to a Canadian site I guess, super lame FYI

I have also used it for years, but they had to crack down because a few months ago a big shipment of supplements got confiscated because of the 90 day supply/serving rule which is to stop re-sellers in Canada on natural health products. I believe this was in April? As I had a big order in March that got through fine :D

If there are canadian sites that are better in price than local that would be great. I thought BB was potentially looking at making a canadian warehouse though to allow for easier distriubution.

For getting a $30 pre-workout for free, and always getting 10% off my orders, I'm yet to find a cheaper retailer :dunno: plus I get so many free pairs of socks from them :cry:

seriously just buy from svncanada.com.... price is good, its fast (3 business days) and plus aside from the good price for a retailer within Canada, they also have the point system which you can deduct dollars off your purchase

Of course one has to consider shipping costs. I usually go to fitshop.ca since there is free shipping over $69. Once in a while they'll have 15% or 20% off entire purchase too.

BB.com has good prices and lots of good deals but the cost of shipping and time spent waiting gets a bit annoying.

BB takes only like a week and there are always 10% off coupons which cover most of the shipping though. Sometimes free shipping also.

The only redeeming feature about BB.com is that they have more BOGO sales than anyone else. Every time I've ordered from them, it takes usually two weeks to arrive. I found another US company that has a warehouse in Ontario. The prices are pretty much the same as BB.com but they have faster & cheaper shipping. They have a wide variety of products, however, it's not as much as BB.com. SVN is shit too. Their prices are a lot higher but their shipping is fast AF.

Prices are usually the best, no doubt, although occasionally I have found cheaper prices on an item here or there, but the last time I ordered it was two weeks. And I am not a patient person.

Not a big deal though. I just shop around for the best price and usually that means BB.com or fitshop.ca.

Just a heads up that currently at svncanada there is 20% off until July 5th and 10% off at fitshop.ca (applies to sale items and BOGO) and vitamart.ca until the 2nd. Fitshop has 5lbs Allmax Casein on sale for $64.99 and it might be another 10% off, which would be smokin' deal.

svncanada has the better price on Assault right now but for free shipping it's $99 where fitshop is $69.

nationalprotein.ca has Assault for $35.89 on sale.
