That would be beautiful, I buy from bb.com anyways but with lower shipping costs and faster delivery you guys would have a monopoly and would be unstoppable. Everyone of my friends would switch from GNC to online purchasing. Whenever I suggest bb.com they are like whats shipping? How long does it take? They are never convinced by the answers...

The prices are going to be the exact same if bb.com has a warehouse in Canada. Canada has import fees and taxes on products when they come into Canada. This increases the cost base of the product and that extra cost will be passed onto the consumer.
There is competition that bb.com has to deal with too, this probably will result in pricing wars but not significant reductions. Reflex and Popeyes are the 2 main suppliers of supplements. You can count GNC if you want but I think GNC is bull****.
The cheapest way for Canadians to get inexpensive supplements are to buy from Canadian based manufactures such as PVL or get Harper to increase the $20 exemption for goods imported into Canada. $20 bucks!! Goods that qualify as a "GIFT" have a $60 exemption but they must be from someone other than a business.

I seriously doubt the fact that this hasn't been put forth before. Likewise, the only thing keeping me from ordering is the rip-off on shipping. Hopefully they will charge worth the exchange rate, a few dollars give or take, unlike many of out fine Canadian retailers who overcharge. That is absolutely disgusting.
I will not fall, I will not fail.
I pound the walls, I shake the cage.
I will not fall, I will not fail.

Postal Program -- Duty-free and tax-exempt importations
The Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) can examine any item that comes into Canada by mail.
You may have to pay duty, the goods and services tax (GST) or harmonized sales tax (HST), and provincial sales tax (PST) on items mailed to you. This depends on:
the item's value in Canadian dollars
whether or not it is a gift.
----------------------------------------
Value in Canadian dollars
If someone mails you an item worth $20 CAN or less, you don't have to pay duty or tax on the item.
If the item is worth more than $20 CAN, you must pay the applicable duty, the GST or HST, and any PST on the item's full value.
----------------------------------------
Items that qualify as a "gift"
For an item to qualify as a "gift", another person must send it to you personally and must include a card or other notice indicating that it's a gift.
If you receive an imported gift by mail and it's worth $60 CAN or less, you don't have to pay duty or tax.
If the gift is worth more than $60, you must pay duty and tax on the amount over $60 CAN.
For example, if a relative sends you a gift worth $200 CAN, you must pay the applicable duty, the GST or HST, and any PST on $140 CAN.
----------------------------------------
Duty and taxes
Payable on most items imported into Canada, the amount of duty and tax you owe -- if any -- will be shown on Form E-14, Customs Postal Import Form, which will be attached to your mail item.
All mail items are subject to a $5 CAN handling fee payable to Canada Post.
All amounts must be paid at the time of delivery (cash, certified cheque, VISA?, MasterCard?, or your Canada Post commercial account).
----------------------------------------
Regional requirements
Newfoundland/Labrador, Nova Scotia and New Brunswick residents are assessed the harmonized sales tax (HST) instead of the GST.
British Columbia, Manitoba, Ontario and Quebec residents are required to pay provincial sales tax.
