I worked out the prices. I converted them. Hell, I can’t actually add TC’s book on the NZ site. Or Spike Shooter cans (I added the tablets). Or Superfood. It still came out with about a $200 difference INCLUDING SHIPPING. Who was cheaper?
Yup. T-Nation. Shame on me for ordering locally. It’s only an extra 4-5 days or something, I’ll be ordering off this site from now on.
As an aside, that seems a bit strange, considering that shipping is $172US to NZ (T-Nation) and $10NZ within NZ (BiotestEdge).
holy crap that’s expensive
…especially considering that the US dollar is only worth 1.22 New Zealand dollars right now.
Means that a single tub of Surge costs $90 US over there.
The situation is pretty much the same here in Italy. Well, actually worse. You can only find TRIBEX, BETA-7 and ZMA at three to four times the US price. Everything else is either illegal (eg HOT-ROX) or nowhere to be found. That’s why I tried to order Flameout directly from Biotest Edge. Guess what? It was seized by customs (even if it’d be perfectly legal to sell here) and it took me five phone calls, three faxes and a three weeks wait to finally get my hands on it. Add to that that if you order more than $100 you have to pay importation taxes (and they even count shipping costs in computing taxes).
Bottom line. I’ll stick to other brands and pray the Biotest empire will expand to Italy one day…
