Does anyone know the actual reason supplements are so much more expensive in Canada? On average 50-75% more. It seems outrageous especially considering the value of the american dollar is sinking like the titanic.

Possibly shipping costs...but that seems oddDoes anyone know the actual reason supplements are so much more expensive in Canada? On average 50-75% more. It seems outrageous especially considering the value of the american dollar is sinking like the titanic.
No, our taxes just add even more to the cost but the base retail prices are just way higher. Then add 13% tax.Is it expensive because tax?
No, our taxes just add even more to the cost but the base retail prices are just way higher. Then add 13% tax.
Examples:
ON whey gold standard - U.S. = 44.99, CAN = 59.99 (minimum)
Jack3d - U.S. = 23.99, CAN = 49.99
Superpump - U.S. = 33.95, CAN = 52.99
NO explode - U.S.= 33.95, CAN = 59.99
Opti-men - U.S.= 23.99 , CAN = 37.99
Sadly thats almost a viable option.I would rent a truck and make a trip across the border once a year...
could it be because you are buying at a brick and motar store versus e-tailer?No, our taxes just add even more to the cost but the base retail prices are just way higher. Then add 13% tax.

Thats what I currently do. I buy a bulk order every few months and save myself 50% of what I would pay here. But you make an interesting point about mutant mass, several other large companies including muscle pharm manufacture here yet its still cheaper to purchase from the U.S. I pay less yet the product makes a 5000km trip around North America before it ends up driving distance from where its made. Ridiculous :think:1 - manufacturers are in the USA and have to ship up
2 - additional middleman "distributor" takes a cut, driving up price
3 - lower volume (we have 10% of the USA's population)
4 - people are accustomed to paying
more up here so store owners charge more
The hilarious one for me and my buddies is we buy Mutant Mass - which is made here in Vancouver - for far cheaper in the US and have it shipped up. So it travels thousands of KM just to end up 10 minutes from where it was made.
Just buy online and have it shipped up.
