BB.com letdown.
I've found plenty sights that offer supps @ equal or even a little cheaper the bb.com. Main reason i kept reordering from here was all the random free stuff they throw in the box. Last 2-3 orders have been sample free though. NO GOOD!

So let me get this straight... you're "let down" at bodybuilding.com not because of their inflated prices, or because they are one of the biggest yet most expensive sites to order from.... you're pissed because you didn't get any free schwag?!

why pay more for supps just for a couple samples?

Back in '04-'07 it was like christmas morning every time you got a bb.com order...protein bars n' samples n' shakes n' etc...then that whole "add to cart" sample crap started.

I actually prefer ordering from bb.com. Here are some reasons.
-bb.com has the best customer service around IMO
-%10 off code
-bb.com price matches competitors prices which is great a thing so if you do find a product for cheaper just call them up and they'll price match it no problem.
-the shipping is amazing. Since I live in Oregon they ship from their Idaho warehouse so I get my package quick.
You package those things up and IMO bb.com is the best place to buy.My training log: https://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=178464441

Their shipping is fantastic and it's not all bad. Claiming you have the lowest prices when you aren't close is a little disheartening. Their information/forums/bodyspace is top notch and I still order from here time to time.Originally Posted by Anthony21

- Quite a few sites are cheaper even with the 10% bb.com coupon code applied.Originally Posted by Anthony21
- bb.com only price matches certain sites, not all, not even a couple WELL KNOWN sites that I've called to ask about. BB.com doesn't consider these sites "competitors" , yet we're not allowed to mention these sites....
- shipping is shipping, it was much quicker with FedEx. Though I've had just as speedy shipping with the 3 other sites I buy from. No quicker, no slower. Usually here within 2 or 3 days.

You can add BPI super pro and Gaspari Myofusion free samples to your cart. Last order I got a free sample of no-xplode. First time in like 5 orders that I got a sample that I didn't have to put in my cart. wooooooooo :\

Correct me if I'm wrong but It should be noted that they will price match the cart TOTAL (not including promotions but including shipping). I have found a lot of places have higher shipping and don't offer the promotional 10% off. It all comes pretty close to equal in the end. PM me an example if I am a dumba**.

U still can have free samples in bb.com store just look in it and ur find free sample then u choose the sample u want from the list they have
U can only choose 2 sample per order
I receive my order today and the sample I chose where there
BPI vanilla protein powder
Detour lean muscle bar
In my next order I think I'm going to order the isoflex and myo samples" nothing in this world can take the place of persistence. talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccesful people with talent. genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. education will not; the world is full of educted derelicts. persistance and determination alone are omnipotent"

Very well said. I never used to order from anywhere else, but now with BB.com's prices going way up and shipping isn't what it used to be, I don't order much from them anymore. Their customer service is top notch though, just not worth the inflated prices, IMHO.Originally Posted by sloop

I did a comparisoon this morning on the same two prodcuts at the top 3 suggested sites.
heres the conclussion I came to: BB.com has better prices if your not buying in bulk, meaning 2-5lb whey containers 337 grams of creatine upposed to 1200 etc... BUT these "other" sites offer far greater deals then bb.com. I found myofusion about $10 cheaper on one of these sites with shipping and promo code on special.
My advice do what people do when grocery shopping. Shop around,check local deals/coupons.
After all we all want the same product at the cheapest price, why pay more for a designer supplier
