I've been buying supplements from GNC for quite some time and it's frustrating to learn that they rip off your money a lot. Even for VIP members the price is slightly above the market rate. Don't get me started on normal retailing price for non members, they are HELLA RIDICULOUSLY CRAZY high, 50% or even 100% higher than market price, giving the impression that bodybuilding and taking care of your health is a luxury.

Now that I've calm down, I wanna ask u guys where do you usually get ur supplements from? Online or from local retailer? I for one have been scouring the internet these past few months for online retailer which is well established, provide good service, and most importantly not trying to rip off consumers.

So here is the list that I've come up with (feel free to recommend any retailers to this list):

Local:
Eji Nutrition
Bina Badan
Ego Nutrition
Fit Nutrition
MuscleUp
NutritionPro
Bodybuilding Asian
Muscle Mania Club
Supplement Malaysia
Supplement2day
Kedai Otot / Supplement Zero
WhyPayMoreNutritions
Bear Nutrition
Fit Lion
Supplement88
WDC Nutrition
Borneo Supplement (for East Malaysia)
Mad Nutrition (mainly Sabah)

Overseas:
iHerb

Closed/ Out of Business:
maxtrition

PS:
1. I'm not affiliated with any of these sites or sellers.
2. I personally don't like blogs and FB selling, cause need to inquire for price and you need to go through all that posts to know current stock and updated price (especially for blogs). Good thing is you can bargain unlike dedicated websites which price is already fixed.

there's supplement2day.com owned by cy8ex

also there's a complain on maxtrition at one of lyn threads

This is a good thread.
I have one.
Muscle Mall Malaysia
musclemall.blogspot.com

I have one as well:

http://www.iherb.com/

sells mostly any kind of food supplement, not just restricted to sports. Includes fish oil, vitamins etc

if you are first time customer, you could get 5 USD discount of total orders using coupon code TUN147.


I usually get my fish oil from there.

Thank you. Will add to the list.
I think maxtrition was owned by Kevin Zahri and has been closed down? He still sells some supplements on his own website, kevinzahri.com, but he only carries very few products.

Is that an overseas retailer? Have you had any problems ordering from them in terms of customs clearance and the condition of items when u receive them? I am quite hesitant to order overseas because I've heard of many problems with Malaysia customs. Heck, if bb.com still ships here I would definitely buy from them because the price plus shipment is still cheaper than any local seller.

Keep em coming guys so that we can buy what we really want at the cheapest price.

Yes that is an overseas retailer. No problems with custom clearance if you buy in small quantity(for eg 2-3 bottles of the same product etc). There are only a few options for shipping. One is international shipping flat rate 4usd or go with courier with DHL or UPS which costs around 16usd and increases with heavier items.

The funny thing is, if you courier over, the msian customs would be more strict. If you choose the international shipping flat rate, they would not open, but just pass thru customs easily, meaning they are less strict with this option. The only downside is you are limited to 3lbs per shipment. It works fine for me as I only use it to get my fish oils. They came without any problems. No broken glass bottles at all , though you would need to wait for 2-3 weeks minimum to get your stuff. So if you do intend to ship using the cheapest option, just order early in advance.

Good to hear that you never had problems dealing with them. I've browsed through the site and I must say the price of some of the items are on par with bb.com. Will definitely try it when my supplements run out. Thanks

orens_studio, u bought anything from BB.com??they have some nice stacks...so does muscle&strength website (http://www.muscleandstrength.com)

Nope. Haven't had the chance ordering from them yet as they have halt shipment to Malaysia. But my bro ordered from them before few years back and said they were great, price and quality wise.

ordered a few times with this guy,friendly and informative + the owner a bodybuilder too.so he knows what suits u the best

http://musclemall.blogspot.com/

u also can add him on FB

http://www.facebook.com/bodybuilder.shopmsia?flyingspaghettimonster=ts

those living in shah alam or nearby klang valley.
can get from me too

I'm not usually a fan of blogs selling supplements cause it can get messy sometimes and hard to go through every new posts to search for what we want and it's current price. Better to go through forum threads here in lowyat.

Bought from him once. Good seller

Nice site there, a great addition to my list.

sms last time he didnt reply. he might be bz

next, bankin in. super cheap lah.

bought creatine 1kg and Real Mass for a friend. 285!

ejinutrition review:

-SUPER CHEAP!!!
-runs out of stock fast (it's only been 1 week they restocked their stuffs, now most of em are gone)

I've encountered some problems on my first purchase from eji.
-First I can't make payment to their bank account since it was blocked due to too many transactions (must have been influx of purchases, CRAZY!), and have to wait till the next day.
-Then the big boss called me up on Monday to verify and trace my payment (I paid on Thursday, no biggie since it was near the end of the working days of the week)
-After some checkup the big boss told me that there was no stock though I have paid and my order was confirmed. So he told me that he will try his best to find stock from other suppliers and retailers. If all fail, he will refund my money back.
- Got my item the next day which is today (Tuesday).

HAPPY

The only problem that I see is that their payment system is not integrated enough with their inventory ticking/warehousing. ie, not fast enough to process and confirm payment, and subsequently reduce the stock number on their website. Hence order>stock, and since they are pretty slow in confirming payment, it keeps the customers guessing whether their order has gotten through. When it is finally confirmed, a few days have already passed (in my case 3days, excluding weekends). But the fact that the boss was willing to get stock from other suppliers and retailers is really something, it shows that he is honest and quite committed towards his customers.

All in all, everything is still good since I got my item. Will definitely order from them again.

it's a 'them' ? Thought it is a one man operation

I don't really know either since eji uses a mobile phone number for business, but the boss did mentioned that his staffs messed up my order.

used to.. but i prefer from other supplier.. their service very bad!.. many times when you order its confirm then suddenly after u banking he said product finish.. 1st come 1st serve basis but tats all bullsh1t. u placed cart early then go bank in he said finish.. he don give u quality of services.. then some times he sending u wrong item. then some more, the total price rm213 u bank in 220 which mean balance is RM7 sometimes he put money together in box but many times he does not..

im not bashing his website but everyone deserve to know there is lack of service. price is cheap average rm10 only but service suck's.. try u tink u waiting ur protien that almost run out then suddenly he failed and delay ur time. dam sad man!!

somemore he use city-link which is bad courrier. eji and city-link = same bad service..

just my honest review

i don buy from them unless i desperate and other supp no stock.

i like fitnutrition which is good supplier.. he got knowledge and dont just sell u. u can ask him anything about supplement.
and his courier also rock solid, saturday also working. sometimes u bankin at 6pm suddenly no wonder package arrive nextday.

Added on April 19, 2011, 10:55 pmi wonder why the boss don give a dam trying to place my order from other supplier. he just ask me to bankin my money back..

This post has been edited by 5955015: Apr 20 2011, 05:07 AM

Your post count is less than 5, you joined this forum so you could diss an online supplement store? Kinda weird.

okay. i just got the supps i bought from him.

banked in on 18/4 at night.
got it today.

ejinutrition rocks!

always sms/email/call them to check up on the stock of the product u wanna order before banking in the money.... should avoid some of these problems.

well i have to agree with some of the comments there, experienced it myself as well.

so what? i seldom open lyn. i juz look at sells section. u wan proof?? i can put an email here to show there is delaynes. what eji is somekind ur relative? dont get bias.

---

Added on April 20, 2011, 2:09 pmowh man.. now a days is online man.. he shud be more professional, once cart added and u received email its corfirmed thats mean the item is ready to be SHIPPPPP!!!!! he supposed to hold it not sell it to his fren within the period.. what kind of stupid people im dealing with? he maybe no idea how long i took time to q up at CDM.

hey kawan, what im talking is right or not? im not bashing their web. but their service sucks man. i purchased many times from them.. and keep getting the same problem untill i had enough! im FEDUP! 1st 2nd error still can accept human mistake.. but many times already no make sense.

if friedn ask me i would say better pay a bit extra for good service.

This post has been edited by 5955015: Apr 20 2011, 02:09 PM

what i meant to say was, i been thru ur experience b4, this doesnt only apply to eji but other websites as well. which is why calling/sms/email for whether stock is available before you add to cart or transfer money, often resolves these problems of finding out they r out of stock later on etc...

Then why do u still purchasing from him since it is just 10 ringgit cheaper, if i were u, i would rather go egonutrition.com to place my order online or go to their retail if accessible.

lol at being angry with an online supplement store. if it sucks so much there's plenty of other stores you can go to. in the end its still you paying them, right? what i dont understand is if you are not satisfied with the services why keep going to the same place over and over again? end of the day, you get the product you paid for, delayed or otherwise.

JAmis as told i don buy from them unless i desperate other supplier got no stock.

yes egonutrition also provide good service and one of my favorite.. last time i visit his shop tough guy consult me all the way.

Added on April 20, 2011, 4:17 pmbrother.. my apologize.. from my opinion, once confirmation email is received there is no nid second taught. why use website if troubling, more? better use blog, don have cart quantites etc.. thats why what im explaining here he should be more professional. must have ethic in business bro. he canot simply letgo our confirmed product, even he is authorize to do so but he should inform us? it all about ecthic!

i never had an issue so far with other website, zerosupplement, ego, fitnut etcetc.
that is why i tink people deserve to know. especially nwbie.. aint wrong rite guys? im not bias or from other substitute supplement shop.. i am customer which love bb product.

Added on April 20, 2011, 4:21 pmso far now i dont shop wif them anymore.. juz to share wat is my situation. i support all website that give good service.

Added on April 20, 2011, 4:25 pmLATEST! ONE OF LYN MEM HAS PM WITH ME SS I WILL POST IT LATER WHEN I HAVE TIME. RITE NOW BOSS LOOKING SOMEBODY TO BE FIRED HEHEHE

This post has been edited by 5955015: Apr 20 2011, 04:25 PM

Wow look like supplement2day.com also has cut down the price.

yo bros out there.
IMHO, i think beside cheap prices of supplements, another factor to look into is the human factor, which means the services that they offer.
i personally don't mind paying a bit extra to get my stuffs to be shipped fast and arrived in good condition though

if a person do not wish to wait, just drop by into any of the retail chains and get them COD , if money is not really the matter la.

but i think online prices are much cheaper compared to shops, perhaps they dun have to pay rental

just my opinion

i'm 178cm...used to be a sportsman but bloated up with weight till 100KG now...hope to gain muscle mass at the same time reduce body fat % as i am interested into bodybuilding now...

reduced my carb intake but could not get enuf of protein through daily meal as the canteen at my workplace sux...

so any protein to recomend guys ??

all of ur opinions will be appreciated..

Added on April 26, 2011, 11:46 pmoh..and i read up all the post about myofusion by u guys..it seems great...will it be suitable for me ?? and where can i purchase it at a good deal ??

Added on April 30, 2011, 1:17 pmIf you want fast shipping use Pos Laju. It's expensive-agreed but they GUARANTEE NExt day delivery even for Sabah and Sarawak.

I have used all couriers, you name it, GDEX, Kangaroo, Skynet? All no guarantee of next day.

Anyone buy from Bodybuilding Asian : http://www.bodybuildingasian.com/ ? price seem lik very attractive..

i found this on lelong few days back. very good prices for the few supplements that they have listed there. i smsed them asking for syntha 6 and xtend price. the price they gave me was not nice like the ones in the link. donno why...
http://www.lelong.com.my/merchant/puppyseven.htm

hi, I just wanna know which website is trustable, usually I consume from GNC but it's way to expensive. I tried to look around EJI, the website look promising, but I dont know to trust it or not. Any recommendation?

EJI is fine.

thanks for the fast response . I'll definitely buy from them since the nitro-core is cheap. I think it's about rm 80 different from GNC .

egonutrition doesnt reply enquiries , and doesnt update the e-store ,
i guess......

true dissapoints ,so best bet is their stores,

bros, im 19 atm 171cm tall, and 62 kg .

I basically have a very small frame, and no matter how i work out, i will not get wider, i will only get more lean.

Is it better to take Dymatize Serious Mass Gainer just to put on the width? I don't know if it would work or not.

OR should I just stick with ON 100% Gold Standard Whey protein?

Need advice fast bros. thanks!

You shd eat more clean food! Try increase ur meal to at least 1.5x of ur current consumption gradually...

i eat like a freaking pig, but i still dont see the result ;P well, ive bought labrada lean mass, pending for postage to my house now. cant wait to receive it (:

can i know wats your freaking pig diet like?

in the morning i eat 2 eggs with bread, and a cup of milo.

bout 10 smth eat some tit bits such as biscuits etc.

lunch bout 1smth, usually rice with alot of vege and meat.

bout 4 tea and some light food

bout 6 dinner rice again with dishes

bout 9 smth supper ( this is unhealthy, i tend to eat oily food ) . hahaha.

(: do correct me, mate!

If this is eating like a 'freaking pig', the guys around here must eat like goddamn balrogs. Seriously, it's no wonder you're not seeing any results.

The majority of your diet is carbs. I only see the word meat pop up twice, once at lunch and once more at dinner (because I'm going to assume 'dishes' consists of some meat). Sure, carbs are important. All macronutrients are important. But you need way more protein in your diet.

Decent meal for Malaysian I would say. Its hard to bulk up that way. As said, protein is important yo. Next time cook yourself a handful of chicken breast wokeh?

If you're a freaking pig then I'm a freaking tiger

thanks mate. i guess ive the revise my diet (: hahaa. will try!

ahh chicken breast, highest content of protein (: sure thing mate. thx.

any of you have tried EJI website as in bank in method? I just wanna know

Yes,it works!

i personally think Eji's service is very slow.
tried to deal with him via COD in penang island.
sms him with questions but he only replied 1 ques. and he took very very long period to reply.
the whole sms process took 3 days.

by the 3rd day, he told me no more stock. damn, really frustrated man...
perhaps the price is attractive but it seems that the service is very bad.

Maybe he doesn't have time to answer questions!

Mine was awesome,ordered and paid Wednesday,was at my doorstep Friday morning.

Maybe something wrong with your SMSes? I always have prompt replies and prompt COD. All done in a day hassle free.

may i knw who gt buy supplement from here lowyat forumer?bcos gt a few have good price for some supplement i wan but dun knw can trust him or nt and scare the product is fake 1~

mixed reviews. but okay, i will give a try thanks again!

bought from reyzai and bata b4. trusted sellers

If you want fast, don't sms, just call him. average delivery is about 3 - 4 days after payment for me.

He replied every each of my sms. It's reliable and to think that I banked in at 10:42 pm and he said he already shipped mine in the afternoon (next day), it's super efficient for me

I'll be glad to do more business with them, thanks to those who recommended this website

i see. perhaps he's not so much into COD.
maybe bank in and he directly use courier to send out the items i guess...

thanks guys...
