Yeah it is man. Around RM1.70 per serving, for 100 servings. And hopefully that's the right dosage for you.

Bodybuilding.com is now having 10% off everything, valid up till 31st August. PM me for the coupon code. Not too sure if they're happy with me posting it up here.

What're you looking to buy? And just curious, are you new to bb and supps? Beginners don't need to look at supps until at least 2 months of consistent workouts to be fully aware of their personal needs.

I can't think of any that we truly need. For example: BCAA? Whey? Fish Oil? Multivit? These are most commonly used but not absolutely necessary if one has a good diet, which should come before anything else. Well, there's one that we absolutely need (personal viewpoint), that is green powders (with added probiotics) such as Green Vibrance.

Technically all correct. The catch being whether you truly need and are absolutely sure what you're spending on and why. For example, I am very sure that I need whey and BCAAs because of my irregular eating habits due to a tight schedule, and I take them whenever necessary. Of course BCAAs can be used just as an EXTRA as well, (for boosting protein synthesis) which is the reason I bought it initially since I had the extra cash at that time, but after some time getting to know myself better I realise the former reason comes into play more significantly than the latter.

Well I guess it's a form of consumer behaviour. I like to get the best value out of every cent I'm paying and not purely succumb to marketing and fancy write-ups. Others might not be so particular in this matter, and that's fine as well, as long as they're happy.

Cheapest service could come in about a month or more. I'd wait one to two more weeks. What items did you buy?

A bodybuilding targeted protein that's not being sold on bodybuilding . com would signal to me that there's potentially much more superior and value for money products out there. Checkout the top 50 best sellers at the site and read the reviews. Extra tip; don't compromise on taste..

Are you looking towards calorie restriction? If so then this meal replacement cum multivit is great stuff - Vibrant Health's MAXIMUM Vibrance

For tablet form multivitamins instead go for New Chapter's Every Man / Every Man's One Daily

That's just because you're eating more food. It's made up of whey protein (protein) and maltodextrin (carbohydrate), no?

But you're paying for shitty food just because it's given the name "mass gainer" by some marketing genius.

Sh1t, that means no more using iherb.

What was your shipment option?

You were using iherb?

What I meant was the delivery period option.

Was it DHL Express international + tracking (approx 1 week delivery time)?

Just checked, the price for USPS shipping is slightly more than double that of DHL.

Yes you're thinking what it's worthwhile since they don't declare, so peace of mind. But I'm thinking what if they check the parcel anyway, then you lose the extra shipping fees!

Too bad can't be of much help here, we're both victims of a restrictive system.

In my shopping cart I have about US$199 worth of shortlisted goods. DHL shipping would cost me $12 (orders over $40 are given an additional shipping discount), whereas the USPS option is $24.

How did DHL declare? Was it a separate documentation?

Because standard declaration pasted on the parcel would definitely have the term 'Health Supplements', as Iherb being the shipper is bound by the law to state so.

This is bad. Luckily I saw your post before making the purchase.

USPS with or without tracking? It's different. Cheapest from bb.com is the one without tracking.

But prone to getting lost, or "lost". One of my larger shipment never arrived.

How about your shipping procedure for your vitamins sales, do you use USPS, or the DHL etc.?

If it's the latter, it means you're taking a risk too, while being lucky all these while?

For our benefit, could you advise what shipper you use that didn't have such problems, and what types of supplements and their maximum quantity and cost in a package would have no problem as far as your experience can tell?

Hope you won't keep it as a trade secret.

Do you think something like the following be usually accepted if gone through DHL?

Hypothetical, but common order:

3 bottles fish oil 60 capsules
2 bottles melatonin
1 bottle creatine 200g
1 bottle calcium
1 bottle zinc
1 bottle magnesium

That's about 9 bottles of supplements in one package, costing about RM600.
