BodyBuilding.com supp shipping to Canada

_superdave · 11-08-2006, 10:03 AM

Hi i was just wondering if anyone here has ordered supps off of this site and they live in Ontario, Canada! How long did it take to reach you? Thx.

It's been 1 week and a bit now should i be expecting them very soon? Or is there a prob with customs ?

LiLRyan · 11-08-2006, 10:07 AM

Hey, it usually takes me about 2 weeks max to receive the items, I did the cheapest shipping and I'm in London Ontario.

What fees do you have to pay when the staff gets delivered?

If you can, post the order value in USD and then any fees that you had to pay.

Thanks.

i just ordered some stuff this weekend, but it gives you a link to track it....takes a while to show up though and its been two days now and I can't track it yet

UncleMurder · 11-08-2006, 10:31 AM

I got my stuff fine. It should take roughly 7-10 days imo.

alvin1 · 11-08-2006, 10:46 AM

2 week on average

Urchin · 11-08-2006, 10:50 AM

I'm in Calgary, and for me it varies a ton... 2-4 weeks for me... kind of a pain in the ass, but much cheaper than getting it locally still, just gotta plan ahead i guess!

Cable Curling CincoUno · 11-08-2006, 11:12 AM

you guys have to pay many fees once it gets to your door?
also do you know why I can't order multis from bb.com but i can buy the same multi from a distributor up here

terracotta · 11-08-2006, 11:18 AM

I didn't have any fees on my first order. It took 2 weeks and 2 days. At the 2 week mark if you haven't recieved your supps submit a query into the form here - http://www.bodybuilding.com/store/delay.htm because if it is stuck at customs they might be able to answer questions and get it through faster.

Still waiting on my second (larger) order from last monday.

I have been ordering from there for years and it always takes from 2-3 weeks if not longer for shipments to arrive. Just have to be patient.

Before, customs would usually charge me from $10-$15 for orders around $100US.

I believe they have changed their shipping methods as my last couple of orders have had no duty charges on them.

falcon123 · 11-08-2006, 12:24 PM

Did that include duties and taxes?

Thanks.

I'm starting to think the person at customs stole your whey :|

Cable Curling CincoUno · 11-08-2006, 01:23 PM

i've found a few canadian places but theyre kinda pricey, and the only controlled labs products they carry are green bulge and white blood
i dont mind waiting a fe weeks for my green mag & purple wraath as i probably won't start them for a while but im waiting on some essentials too like milkthistle and fish oil

terracotta · 11-08-2006, 07:41 PM

bb.com needs a Canadian warehouse - > http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=956278

I order from *********. Do not see any price difference except it is cheaper at ********* for what I order. Stick to United States Postal Sevice for all orders. Generally you do not get as many cross border charges then if you ship your order with UPS or Fed Ex.

terracotta · 11-08-2006, 08:21 PM

^^^ read the rules, bb.com provides this forum to help its business.. no mention of outside sellers is allowed.

agreed. BB.com is the only place with such great customer service. Im happy to spend that extra $2 for such great service. they always ship out your order the same day its placed in my experiance.

_superdave · 11-09-2006, 07:53 AM

Thanks everyone.... but in the case it does get stopped at customs... Wtf is it that customs objects too ?

saku · 11-09-2006, 06:32 PM

well it depends on what your importing, if its something banned( i know MAN body octane is banned but I got it through

) then they will just take it I suppose, or you could pay to have them ship it back to bb.com and hope to get a refund.

but other wise I have no idea why they would stop whey.

polski · 11-09-2006, 08:06 PM

I ordered mine 2 weeks ago on thursday and it came on wednesday. Meaning basically a bit less then two weeks. I live in Montreal and it was a order of around 100$ and it passed customs with no fees. Whey and creatin, nothing crazy but still glad there was no additional charges.

blurrr · 06-07-2008, 10:35 AM

yes i am bringing back the dead.. this thread's like 2 years old but i am curious. I live in Ontario and usually buy my supps from SVN Canada although I'm getting persuaded to make the transfer over to BB.com. Any changes for Canadians? How long can i expect my package, is there extra duty charges tacked on, anybody ever loose their shipment at the border?

blurrr · 06-07-2008, 01:54 PM

bump

Adjusting · 06-07-2008, 03:10 PM

Usually 2-3 weeks to receive your order. I've never paid any extra duties.

blurrr · 06-07-2008, 10:12 PM

thank you sir

TimWhalen · 06-07-2008, 10:21 PM

Two weeks is pretty much standard for me. Right now I've been waiting on a bunch of Xtend for 2 and a bit months. Bodybuilding.com has been great through the process and I'm sure it's Canada Post who is holding everything up. It's the unluck of the draw. I guess you just have to be patient.

force_ · 06-07-2008, 10:38 PM

Im in Toronto and just got an order a week or so ago, took 8 business days to get here and zero extra fee's (order was just over $200 if memory serves me).

I have recieved shipments from other US based companies in literally half that time but I dont think 8 days is too bad!

Buying anything in Canada is an absolute rip off as our $ is the same as the US dollar but all the CAN prices are WAY higher than the US guys. Screw SND and popeyes...they are ripping Canadians off.

Mk830 · 05-13-2009, 07:15 PM

I ordered approximately 400$ worth of stuff and i received half of it on the 8th business day and the other half on the 9th, it was canada post fault for the day difference, but no extra charge at all, no complaints here
