Rolla Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 You know the food will never make through customs right? Trying to save a few bucks will end up costing you double now When my LFS put their prices up for NLS to $55 for 300g I had a look around on ebay to find a better price. I ended up searching the US ebay site (just leave the .au off the end) and couldnt believe the price difference, calculated to about AU$48 for a 2.2kilo tub! After emailing a few suppliers i found one guy who posted it to me in Adelaide for $60. So thats $108 for 2.2kilo (equal to over 7, 300g tubs). The cheapest price i could find in Australia was double that around $220. Dont get me wrong tho i do like to support local companies, cause without the we'd have nothing over here, but when it comes down to it, thats a big price difference and i couldnt resisit.

Customs will have field day if they catch it, more get caught these days than not though.. Dont know why your LFS would raise the price as RRP has come down slightly with the $$ Most 300g tubs are around $38 except for theThera A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
