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.

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.

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

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.

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.

Good to know. How long did it take for the package to arrive? And is it cheaper than local retail price?

Please do update. Every little review helps the community

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.

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.

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

bb.com do ship to Malaysia again. but for price comparison, most items are expensive after taking into account shipment costs into msia compared to buy locally.
the general rule is try source for products locally first, only buy from overseas if those products cant be bought locally.

eji is getting worst it seems, sorry if my previous remark on him misled newbies.

anyway anyone know how to add poll to this thread? that way customers can rate their service.

i've added a poll in the first post. hope it will be useful to others

there's something fishy about the data. haha. check it out here

it seems google docs poll does not support cookie or ip block at the moment, meaning anyone can vote indefinitely. to prevent abuse or slander i think i'll lock this poll until i find a solution or another better poll service.

never bought seriousmass but from my exp, if you bought choc flavor it will look and taste like milo for 1st time user, albeit a lil bit bland.

do you have any pic of the packaging? did you received it still sealed?
