Hey guys,
Lets do a supplement review store to assist whoever thats searching for a good deal.
Lets start with Singapore online stores
1) Ultimatesg 2) NFFT 3) FitnessOne 4) TSW 5) NutritonPark
or others that I have left out.
I will do a review of U.S. online stores to as I have been in the U.S. for quite some time.
NO REPRESENTATIVE FROM ANY BODYBUILDING STORES
THIS IS A TRUE BODYBUILDING FORUM

FitnessOne
The only supplement store which I have purchased from Singapore is FitnessOne.
Their customer service is pretty good, willl keep you up to date on their delivery and they promise it on time.
But there were occasions which they were late for quite some time, but it was fine, unless I was in a hurry to go out.
The products they offer are good but I would love to see more variety coming in.
The website is easy to navigate, and average looks.
I hate websites in which you have to register to purchase and FitnessOne you had to register to purchase.
In general, I would give FitnessOne a 8/10.

Bodybuilding.com
Bodybuilding.com has a great website, truely easy to navigate and FAST !
Purchase is easy to, dont have to register, just pay and wait for the product to come. Prices are reasonable and they have great shipping for a great price. Though I was affected when California had a hurricane then, and my product was delayed for two weeks.
The customer service is awesome.
They have a great variety of products to compare and choose from.
Some products are high in prices if you realised, and I assume thats why their shipping is low for such a great shipping, I believe they cover some of the shipping costs with high prices for their products.
So there's pros and cons..
I would give it a 9.5/10

Vitaglo.com
This site is pretty low profile but I guess thats the reason why the products are a good deal and you get free shipping over US$50.
I always get my 10lb protein bag from this site, as the prices are truely unbeatable. You get it for $45, thats around Singapore $70, i think.. thats truely a crazy deal !!
This site is real messy, is tough to navigate, the search engine is terrible !!
Links are broken !!
Lousy layout of the site..
The security is safe when you order it online, as it goes through Yahoo!.. security stuff, I'm not sure about.. but I did check it as is legit.
The prices for some products are good, but not all are that cheap if you compare it to bodybuilding.com and 1fast400.com.
Overall, this site has a good deal..
I will give it a 7/10..

here's my experience with local online stores:
Ultimatesg - website is a tad messy, but scores when you experience friendly service, shares knowledge freely and products are value for $$.
NFFT - website is easy to navigate. friendly & informative forum. excellent products but abit ex. sales people are friendly and professional to customer's needs.
FitnessOne - ok website. good products and even better prices (especially on certain items on sale!). didn't communicate much with sales people.
TSW - most commercialised of the lot. website is well-done and no lack of info on their products. wide range of brands and products. average prices. sales person is friendly but didn't have opportunity to ask for training or nutritional advice.

i would say; ultimatesg - very good value for money. u cant get $52-60 for 5lb whey anywhere else! got others like terribulus and joint renew etc which previously only available from him.
fitnessone - very declicious whey. very wide range of flavours and most are very unique, i keep thinking about their berry blast flavour and got free gifts like shaker and t-shirts. for $75 and door-to-door delivery, it is a fantastic price. Kudos to James.

just ordered from Nutrifirst over the weekend, here's my review:
- website easy to navigate, provides all the information on products - ordering procedure is simple - good delivery schedule and delivers on time - good VIP prices for products under their distributorship and they are having a promo on VIP membership until end-March - i think they have the widest range of brands and products under one roof that i have seen so far - didn't check out their forum - didn't get to speak much to the sales person

fitnessone singapore:
my main source of protein. value for money, and most impt of all, their taste is fantastic!
1fast400:
fast and reliable. however, some of the products shipped over looked to be older products. some pills are even yellowish in colour

NFFT service is good , friendly and their matrix 5.0 is the best rating : 9 / 10 fitnessone : they are the best among all in imo , for certain reason , i may be biased , but their whey protein taste the best 10 / 10 Ultimatesg : I would give the rating same as NFFT , since we know him online already , so there should be no problem .. 9/10 Nutrifirst : initially i tot this company is a company that loves commercialising alot , but i think they are a honest . TSW : the issue with this company is that their product are sent by parcel . which i think may affect the quality of the product as they are delivered by motorist ( the postman) . hot weather is the issue here . alot to say , but not neccessary for me to post everything here 4.5/10

I just ordered from Nutrition Park. Very nice sales pple. Polite, helpful and patient. Even when i asked lots of qns and only purchased a tub of Prostar Whey, they also never screw me upside down.
Will update again when i receive my orders tomorrow.

Yeah! I received my supplements today. I have only one word to say about Nutrition Park - Awesome!
First, the pple were friendly and polite. 2nd, they delivered my supplements the next day ON TIME! 3rd, they offer good value for money for their products. 4th, i got a free sample of power caps and it really worked when i tested just now in the gym. 5th, the protein mixed and tasted great. I had initially thought that it will taste mediocre because it's so cheap.
This company is highly recommended. I will give it a 9.9/10 (there's always room for improvements).
Oh yeah, before i forgot. I was told that they sell Hydroxycut 140 caps at only $59.90 which i saw some guys trying to sell at $88 in this forum.

ordered from Bodybuilding.com 3 weeks ago, here's my review:
- nothing to fault with their range of products and website - customer service is great. they respond to my request to amend shipping address promptly - product arrived in good condition and on-time. within 2 weeks for surface shipping by USPS
