Maybe if you're only buying very small and light items. If you're getting products with high weight or take up a lot of space, there's no way to cover up those shipping costs, especially when most Canadian sites offer free shipping (for ~$100+ orders). I don't like seeing shipping costs which are 50% of the actual price of the items in the order.

cheapest I can find whey protein is at s u pplementscanada .com 2 x 5lbs for 80 bucks
creatine isn't so bad, 30-35 for 1000g, and shipping > $100 is free
multivitamins and other random stuff though looks way too expensive, orange triad for 56 bucks, same with GlycerGrow
it sucks when you see the same items listed on BB.com for less than half the price in USD
open a canadian bb.com warehouse please!

Im about to do a mass order for me and a couple of friends, over $300 bucks. Express shipping is like $50. Ive used the regular shipping before but the 9 day max is way off, more like 3 weeks.
If I get express shipping, am I going to get it in 2-3 days? Anyone with experience from Canada can respond, I dont need to hear about customs delays. If youve ordered with express to Canada how long did it take?

I have never had to wait longer than 3 days to get anything no mater how big the order. I used the fed ex option. Not much more and its still a lot cheaper than any stores here.
I am just outside Toronto. Next time you guys place an order use Fed Ex it will come much much faster, like I said 3 days is the wait.
I had one order I placed early in the am and it took 2 days to get here...Pain heals. Chicks dig scars. Glory, lasts forever...

love this site, it's got great resources and a great store (prices). But sadly, for a canadian like me; the shipping is abysmal and I've taken a personal oath to never order anything from the store again.
First experience:
I placed an order for some protein and a bottle of OEP. Reading the shipping methods, it clearly states Canada Post 4-9 buisness days.
I waited 23 days for my order to arrive.
Second Experience:
Learning from the last go round that it takes for ever....I paid extra to have the FedEx or whatever shipping which is supposed to be much faster (i think it's quoted @ 5buiz days?). A little better this time; only took 16days.......but cost me an arm and a leg.
My third experience:
I ordered some protein and stuff on August 5th 2010. I decided that the extra $$ for "fast" shipping wasn't worth it, so I went with the Canada Post option again.
Well, i waited and waited and waited until finally it came....on September 17th. A whopping 43 days for "4-9 buisness day" shipping.
Words cannot express how terrible the service to Canada is. I live in Alberta, Idaho is very close. Whats the deal? Why do they say 4-9 days if it is never anywhere near that close? Why when I call the service dept. do they always tell me "just wait untill the end of the week, i am sure it will be there"?

Prices are great on this site (obviously), but when you include shipping, then it turns out to be the same price as in the store, plus the waiting time. Buying in bulk is something I'm skeptical on, because what happens IF the parcel gets seized by customs for whatever reason? If we had a canadian bb.com warehouse, I am sure you would get TONS of orders. Just look at all the Canadian members on this site.

Well what you have to understand that they delay has nothig to do with this site. Its the customs, they can hold things for as long as they want too.
I orderd once through canada post and it took 2.5 weeks to get to me as it was in customs.
Ever since then I use the Fed Ex option and its gets to me in like 2-3 days.Pain heals. Chicks dig scars. Glory, lasts forever...
