It is becoming common for bodybuilders and other people interested in fitness to order their supplements from overseas, particularly the United States.
The strong Aussie dollar and lower product prices makes buying overpriced U.S. supplements (meaning the big names like Muscletech, BSN and Gaspari - thanks to greedy Australian distributor/s) a little easier on the wallet.
The advantage of getting cheaper supplements into Australia is starting to come at a cost to the average customer with transport companies like Fedex becoming increasingly stringent on what they allow into the country, pulling up innocent packages and creating a lot of hassle for customers who have done nothing wrong, except possibly taking a stand against lining the pockets of the money hungry Aussie distributors.
Possibly the safest way to avoid getting products seized is to either avoid useless overpriced brands like Muscletech, Gaspari and BSN and Optimum Nutrition(they seem to attract more attention in customs), or if you still choose to, use sea freight rather than air freight.
Also don't try importing dairy based proteins into Australia, they are one of the easiest products to have seized due to quarantine regulations and will quickly lose you your hard earned money.
