FedEx works out 40-60 dollars cheaper and faster. Cool.
For those Canadians who are interested, I finally received my shipment of Surge via USPS today.
The final cost difference between USPS & FedEx on four jugs of Surge works out to roughly $17 CDN cheaper on the USPS option. Although, USPS took roughly thirty days to get to me, and FedEx took four or five.
(BTW: Both were shipped to Vancouver)

For how much did you order and how much was the duty fees?

You could buy ALOT of chicken breasts and veggies with that. Let’s not get crazy, I think a good protein supp, a fish oil supp, and creatine are staples, maybe Spike as well. But I gotta ask what you’re ordering to spend 4k a year on supplements?
Hm… I’ve been meaning to do a calculation on grams of protein per $ comparison of chicken, beef, tuna and protein powder. Multiply this by the Bialogical Value (BV) and you could prioratize your protein sources…
Has anyone seen or done this already?[/quote]
Yup. Bear in mind these are Canadian prices but I think it should be almost universal. Chicken 40g Protein=$1.90 (on sale). Beef 40g Protein=$1.35, Eggs 40g Protein= $1.20 (double that without yolks) and Protein Powder (Metabolic Drive) 40g= $3.00, Whey Protein 40g= $2.20. Now factor in convenience, portability, clean-up, cooking time, utility bills, and personal time, as well as BV and I think the extra $1.00+ is worth it.
Excellent article. Convinced me to order directly from Biotest in the future.
Well, I am new to T-Nation. I have read a few of your post and valued from this site. So if you take into account that I am a new member and possibly a new consumer, keep your products in stock if you want to sell them!!!
May I offer a little consumer advice? I am sure you are aware, most new BB and supplement consumers are looking for great advice and good products. A consumer will hopefully find this forum and receive good advice, but does absolutely nothing for the company if the consumer can not purchase the promoted products. He/she will wonder off and find something else, even if he/she believes that Biotest products are superior, because one is interested in products that will enhance performance NOW. The consumer is not interested in purchasing products when it is convenient for the company to stock them. I am sure there are circumstances at this time and reasoning why products are not in stock…
Please understand this may or may not be my position, but certainly one you should be aware of.
HTH
Bumping this great article for all of T-Nation to see.
Wow, I’m sure I must have read this when it came out, but certainly one worth re-reading.
