Well I think you read a little about what I said over at bb.com about them price matching, but while this was going on the guy said he absolutely loved green mag and purple wraath and said that all the controlled labs stuff was awesome. Then last night I went in there to go in half on a tub of green mag with my friend who i just turned onto CL stuff and the old man was saying how much everyone (including some of his workers) loved your stuff. I ended up getting 40 scoops of green mag for $20. Good deal for me because Size-On will be over in 15-20 days. I'll probably pick up a tub of the Green Lemonade after my green mag is gone.

awesome to hear. this was a vitamin world? so they pricematched?

Yea, well here's the thing about that. I went in there and showed him the sheet with bodybuilding.com's price on it and he said 'well thats a good price, hows the shipping?' So I thought he was just wondering and I said 5.99, to which he replied 'so what we're really looking at is 45.98.' I almost punched him because I shouldn't have to pay shipping if its not being shipped! But my friend told me don't worry and he'd pay 30 and i'd pay 20. If I ever get it pricematched again I for sure wont pay shipping because thats ludicrous. If I'm going to pay for shipping I'll get it from bb.com and get some samples.

Some sites may have a cheaper price on the supplement itself, but could have a high shipping cost. I've been to numerous sites that I find the cheapest cost for the supplement, but find out at the end of checkout that with shipping, it is cheaper somewhere else. So pricematching the price shipped is understandable.

Not when the product is not shipped. To me thats just stupid, I came to VW to avoid the shipping.. thats the whole point. I'd rather give bb.com my business than VW if I'm going to pay the same price.

You will never find a retailer as cheap as prices you will find on the internet, unless it is discounted for going out of date or you work at the company/know someone who does. Quickness, ease of returns, go to a retailer.. cheapness and availability, order from the internet. I'm even surprised that retailer price matched a price from the internet.

Well their policy is to pricematch. I'd rather wait 1 day and get some free samples from bb.com than to pay for it at VW and pay for the shipping that they arent doing. They already jack up the prices anyway. I just shouldn't ahve to pay for shipping when the shipping consists of him handing it to me.

Well, I'm going to try it again next time I want to pricematch and I'll see what they do. If it was up to me I would have argued with him about it and not paid for shipping but my friend didn't want to deal with it I guess. The way I saw it, this guy just wanted to tack on charges that shouldn't be there because it ended up being more expensive than bb.com anyway. In stores there is tax, on bb.com there isn't.

it all cancells out in the end usually

There's no tax on supplements in stores either.

He put a tax on it. I know that because he rang it up as 45.98 and it ended up being 49 something.
