Well, it happened again. We live in the worst country EVER. Australia. I just got a call from FedEx letting me know that the shipment that i orderd got rejected. The following substance was not aloud to be imported: Animal M-Stack. I also had test in there but it seems there isnt any update on that so i was told to be cautious. Its just bullshit how we cant use these products as freely as Americans can. Earlier this year i tried to import DHEA which hehe was rejected also. Seems like i can only stick to my Stack2. Happy lifting guys ;)

Oh yea, that would be an awesome stack... Now stack2 and Mstack is potent as hell also. Too bad its hard for you to get.

Since you can get test, get some more while you can. Just in case.

i doubt anyone is gonna call the cops, but at the same time, its probably inappropriate to discuss illegal activities.

im from oz too man, and the same thing happened to me. i emailed the therapeitc goods administration and they said that the substance beta-ecdyesterone is an androgenic compound. so that is a no no.

does stak 2 come through ok? and did you say that test was cleared by customs.

yeah bro, stack2 came through perfectly last time including my pump and pak. When i was talking to the Fedex dude he said Test wasnt on there list so they let that through but you may want to be careful, so i would advise you guys stock up before australia says something crazy like its only for terminaly ill individuals lol.

btw, i didnt illegaly import it. ive never tried it lol.

enyways, heres an update on the M-Stack. It's ilegal to import the product as an individual/resident. BUT universal nutrition has forwarded me to some suppliers who do sell to the public and it is available this way. So in the end its a go to use mstack =) HAPPY LIFTING.

Know how you feel. Ordered from bb.com last month, big load.

PAK
PUMP
FLEX
NITRO
EAA STAK arrived

Customs withheld
TORRENT x2
SHOCK THERAPY
STAK

All they left me with the seizure notice was a defra form, explaining how food and plant products cant be imported. Yet stores here sell the same products.

Im desperate to import CUTS and TEST, but really aint sure if they'll be cleared. Customs are strange!

let's not get emotional about erhan "illegally importing" dhea. it's not like he placed it between his butt-cheeks and crossed the border. he probably ordered it legally through a website and when the shipment got to the border, it was turned back.

that sucks that you can't import these products as an individual/resident to your country. they probably consider all these bodybuilding supplements a luxury down there and want to boost the economy by only permitting licensed stores to distribute them at ridiculous prices. i checked out the supplement den website that erhan posted and those prices are ridiculous. if prices were that jacked up in the united states, i would probably be bulking up with hot dogs, potted meat, and spam...lol.

there are issues with some animal products being shipped to us here in Australia, however there are a large number of items that make it through fine. I'll post what i've brought in...

Animal Pak
Animal Flex
Animal Nitro and Nitro G
Animal Pump
Animal Cuts
Torrent
Storm
Shock Therapy
Uni Liver
GH Max
BCAA 1000

M-Stak will not pass through, so don't waste your time or money trying!

03-10-08, 8:43 am
Theres a few sites in Aus you can buy a limited Universal range from, they hurt you on price though ie $67.95 for Pak, I bought that in the US for $21.95. Regardless, if you've got the cash, you don't have to worry about it being seized, and the delivery is pretty good. I get it the next day in Perth.

alex000
03-10-08, 8:51 am
yeah iv seen some aus sites
like ebay.com.au

is there any better aus sites?

but i still dont want to pay that much since i can get them from america
but there is always a risk of them sending it back

Aus4484
03-10-08, 9:01 am
If you snoop around the government websites for customs, you will come across the banned substance list. Most of the gear is pretty much ok, as long as it's things like amino's etc. Yohimbe is a big no no, I don't know how many of the blends have that in there. I'm guessing if you can buy it here, you should have no trouble importing it, unless Universal reformulate products for overseas markets. One of their reps should be able to help answer that.

alex000
03-10-08, 9:03 am
yeah i heard something about amino acids too
and animal pak has some in it so its a risk to get it from america

never_2_big
03-10-08, 5:49 pm
i have the banned substance lists printed out, if i track down the site i'll post it up. Youre right though, yomimbe or any of its derivatives will not be allowed through so that rules out animal TEST, you can buy MSTAK here but its super expensive like 85 a can.

Some aussie sites you can check are-
supplementden.com.au
afan.com.au
adastreet.com.au

just a few i've checked out.

I think it's more of a customs thing than a bb.com rep thing. I've had friends in the US send me stuff and it's always been opened. How long do you generally wait for an order from them to come through? I've been thinking about ordering, especially seeing how strong the AUD is currently.

Thats strange, I've ordered Torrent multiple times up until November last year with no problems. Guess they must have added it to the "list". Its so stupid and so aggravating sometimes.

I just tried to order my bimonthy 2 cans of animal pak and it seems that the Therapeautic Goods Administration here in Aus has taken it upon themselves to ban the Pak.

I'm still waiting for a reply email from the TGA for the exact reason but it really has me perplexed as to why such a basic supplement would be stopped at the border while other supps that have more anabolic potential easily get through.

Best case scenario I go back to paying 60 bucks a can for the PAK, worst case... I DONT GET IT AT ALL

bit of advice bro! dont but the shit from australian stores. they rip you off big time. get yourself a credit card and head to bodybuilding.com or bulknutrition.com or discountanabolics.com. the exchange rate and shipping sucks but it still pretty much works out cheaper in the long run.

ok, thats a pretty hefty list you got goin there...

because youre ordering pak youll have to use bulknutrition or discount anabolics bb.com no longer ship pak to oz.

pak is OK, flex is OK, Nitro is OK, Cuts is OK, pump is OK.

mstak and stak2 are kinda borderline. some inspectors let it through and soe don't. ive had it seized once but its come through ok twice. for those 2 i would use bulknutrition, they send an ingredient profile which get it through...

DONT order whey protein unless you have a declaration from manufacturer and an import permit. one look at it and customs will seal the box and return it no ifs or buts.

is there any particular reason youre goin on a 3 week bulk and a 3 week cut? You'll barely see the resutls after one cycle and youll probably lose them white youre on the cut...

maybe you should run your bulk for 2 cycles or even run a few cycles of stak2 2 or 3 and then use mstak with cuts. it'll keep you growing and shedding fat

I'm right at the peak of my nutrition & training, so any form of supplement/s I take I should start to make some difference. Its more of a "get a feel for" it all. See if they work for me. Due to my line of work, I can never really go on a massive bulk phase, so gentle steady increases in lean mass is fine by me. Once I get results (Im sure I would), then it'd be go time!

from bulknutrition.com ive ordered pak, pump, flex, nitro and mstak. i cant remember how much it cost but if you go through the first stages of the checkout put your addy in and it will calculate shipping. for your order it'll be pretty high but im guessing it might still come in lower than what aussie retailers sell for. plus you wont have to order for another 2 months or so.

Hey Guys, just wondering if Animal Omega is able to come to Australia without any problems?

i cant say for sure whether or not its on the banned supp list but considering its an animal based oil product i would say it is... however if you order from a lesser known oline store u might be lucky enough to get it cleared. for all the iffy products avoid bb.com, their prices are the cheapest but when youve gotta send it back and pay that shipping it gets pricey anyway.

try bulknutrition.com, or discountanabloics.com, ive order some stuff off the list and it made it through ok.

Guys i usually buy from A1 supplements and after ordering a can of cuts among other products, was told that they will no longer be getting cuts in! I then checked vitaminking and they don't have it either. Whats going on have cuts been banned in Australia? Also where is the cheapest place to pick up some Storm? Cheers guys

Hey Guys, just joined up for this topic..

I used to get all my gear from Vitaminking aswell, and they don't have it.. supplementwarehouse.com.au don't have it.. and megafit.com.au just sent me an email saying they have been asked to take it off there shelves?!?!

If this is really the case, what's the go with imports? I tried getting a can of Cuts in last year, but it was rejected by customs.. yet Aussie trainer was able to get stuff delivered? hmm.. such a random country we live in.

I cant remember what i paid for postage, but do up a checklist online, and it tells you right up.

I got 2 x Nitro (44packs)
2 x Cuts
1 x Storm
1 x Pak (88 pak)

And I think came to $414 all up at my door

Hey guys... because bodybuilding.com is such a popular online store its been blacklisted by customs. They will open every box, every time! if it's banned inn aus there is little chance that you will get... if youre willing to give it a go, order using normal post... express fedex customs are hard asses, if it seems a little suss, they'll send it right on back to the states.

ive been using bulknutrition, and discount anabolics, both have ok shipping rates and roduct prices.

happy shopping

yeah bro i have looked everywhere in the online sores here in oz not to be found. I guess its banned here now. i guess we will have to try get it in from overseas. hopefuly the supplement that is developed from the project c testing comes to australia. The guys using it have described it as Cuts on crack. Sounds promising

Anyone know how much it cost to ship a can of 88pak from US to Aus?

The cheapest I can get it here in Sydney is $80 for a can of 44.....

discountanabolics.com sell the 88pak for $55 AUD but doesn't tell you how much shipping cost to Aus.

Hey Chindo,

Curious to know where you can get the animal cuts from in Australia? I have searched far and wide and no one has it in stock!!!

As for your other question.. I ordered 2x 44packs of cuts from bulknutrition.com. It cost me about AUD95, shipping included. Problem is though.. I haven't received it yet & it was shipped on the 5/8/09 .. Either my package has gone "missing" or it is still with customs awaiting clearance or they just have not told me. BN.com told me it would be about 3-5 business day delivery period, so that's why I am abit weary.

Sounds like it got seized. I got my stuff delivered from bulknutrition exactly 14 days.

1 month is far too long for a fast shipment procedure via FedEx method.

dude, it's 1 month! I had it delivered by Deutsche Post Intern and it took me 2 weeks.

i've been in both situations... that postage company is all over the place... ive had packages take up to 6 weeks or as little as 12 days to arrive, just make sure you order well in advance.

Alot of the time it isn't the postage company, customs can somtimes get backlogged with packages and anything that says health supps on the declaration will more than likely be opened and checked for banned products.

09-06-09, 8:08 pm
I've been trying to keep pretty up to date with all of the recent customs changes and from what i can understand there have been no changes to the import rules where cuts in concerned... be warned though there have been alot more black listings over the past few months to ease competition between aussie importers and us guys trying to get a bargain from the USA... Supps that would have easily got through customs are now being scriutinized under the new "improved" legislations...

happy shopping!

At supplementwarehouse's website it says Cuts is out of stock for a while now but everytime I go there they still have heaps on the shelf. They advertise it for $75 but you can get it $60.

Anyway I've ordered a can of 88pak and 44flex from DA on the 01/09/09 but still hasn't came yet (3weeks). Fingers cross it goes through custom okay, i'd save about $60.

No it seemed for a brief stint animal cuts became quite easy to source but it's all but disappeared again. Heard some rumour from a guy at a supplement store near me that animal was no longer importing their products into Australia or something and now it's only a matter of time until it runs out entirely. The guy seemed to know what he was talking about but I'm hoping he was wrong.

Does anybody have any idea why bodybuilding.com will not ship animal supplements to Australia? If I have it delivered to my friends in the states to forward it on to me, is there any chance my Universal Torrent, Animal Pak and Animal M-Stak will get stolen by customs?

PS If you're looking for cuts there are a few options on Ebay, one in Australia, two from O/S, but I'm just wondering about what customs would do with it...

The new formula of cuts contains hoodia gordonii, this a an endangered cactus plant if im not maisteken and needs a special permit as well as a manufacturor letter saying that it was legally sourced in production.

The problem with pak has been an on again off again debate, i believe the main source of conjecture is vitamin k... As for flex im still unsure of the reason for its recent unavailability.

spot on n2b, especially with PAK, they wont ever make up their mind on that. from the info i have, flex is just a short term thing, but word has it if you want STAK, buy up now cause there could be a shortage for some time. i dont know how much to go by as gospel, but its happened before and no doubt will happen again.....

yeah bro, stack2 came through perfectly last time including my pump and pak. When i was talking to the Fedex dude he said Test wasnt on there list so they let that through but you may want to be careful, so i would advise you guys stock up before australia says something crazy like its only for terminaly ill individuals lol.

btw, i didnt illegaly import it. ive never tried it lol.

enyways, heres an update on the M-Stack. It's ilegal to import the product as an individual/resident. BUT universal nutrition has forwarded me to some suppliers who do sell to the public and it is available this way. So in the end its a go to use mstack =) HAPPY LIFTING.
