I want to order some ZMA from bb.com, even with shipping charges it's a hell lot cheaper than buying from here. But I was just wondering if anyone has ordered from bb.com from here in Aus? Are there any extra charges? I'm guessing it shouldn't be stopped by customs because they sell the products here...

With the falling US $, ordering from the US is becoming very attractive, particularly since as our dollar becomes stronger, their prices remain static.
Customs is also another big issue, if it is confiscated by customs, they will surrender the product to the commonwealth, upon which it will be destroyed, and you will not get your money back.
Be careful there are no additives in the ZMA that are controlled over here and you should be ok.

I have bought protein from this site, the delivery was pretty dodge and I had to ring them 25 days or something after I ordered it to make sure they actually sent it, I got it the next day lol.

I've bought xtend BCAA's and shakers from bb.com and both orders have been fine. I had no problems with postage or anything other than having to wait a few weeks for my purchases to get from the US to here. I think Customs only charges you fees if you purchase is particularly expensive (I think it's $1000+ ?).
About the whey, the URL of the store and the panel that comes up once you click order both reference Australia (for me when i'm logged in, at least), so surely bb.com wouldn't advertise products they can't deliver here? I could be wrong though.
There's more info on what you can import and fees on the Customs website (customs.gov.au) .
Hope this helps.

Its fine, but customs will seize it if you order and more than 3 months worth of supps, dont know why they just do

I've made plenty of orders on bb.com, however I've never been able to purchase whey on here. If you send me a pm ill link you to the site I get all my whey from, its Australian based and quite cheap.

i thought bb.com was pretty handy in telling you what can and cannot be shipped into aus?
Waiting time could be an issue as well, not a problem if you dont mind the wait.Nutrition/Lifting Log -> http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=154498113
