I just wanted to post about something that really puzzles me. All of this mail order shit is absolutely insane. I am not going to call anyone stupid because I have tried this too. There are so many scams out there that a good source is a scarce commodity. Further, many legit sources also double as scammers. If a source is good, chances are that they will eventually be busted, as well as those who are using them to obtain their gear. If someone were to send me a money order, I would take it and not send them shit. I recently tried the internet thing and was sent a fake ass pakage with a fake ass letter from US Customs. The package was empty ( stuffed with a foreign Newspaper, and the scam letter). What a bunch of shit!! Even if I had received the product, whose to say the shit was real, or uncontaminated. You read all the Conspiracy Theories and write them off... but when events such as the MKUltra experiment are PROVEN to have occured... whose to say our Government or another Government (or some random Sick-o)isn't infecting us with some chemical or disease. I know it sounds insane but it is a possibility. I have seen guys extract the contents of a bottle of T-200 and fill it with Mazzolla Corn oil and sell it to someone they personally KNEW!!! I am not saying that everryone has such a low moral standard or such a lack of character, but if you believed everything you read on these boards... Everyone is 6' plus, everyone is ripped and sexy and strong as fuck. My point is, things are not always as they appear. Since we are using an interface where identities can be 100% concealed, everyone runs a serious risk of making a bad choice and trusting. This mistake may cost you money, it may cost you your freedom, it may cost you your health, and it could cost you your life. Be carefull!!! Try and exhaust all resources in your immediate area before you start ordering off the web. Ask around your gym, ask your friends, it is harder to scam or cause pain to someone you know...(trust me... LOL)

Well not to be a dick, but if you buy something that has the metal pull tab off, you deserve to get ripped off. There are good mail order sources out there, you just gotta find them. Maybe you should take Gamer's advice. IP: Logged |

Not to be a dick T-Bone, but that tab doesnt mean shit. On most, you can gently lift an edge up and insert a syringe (small guage)to pull the liquid out. If you dont believe me I have a bottle of T-200 by Brovel that I'll sell you for $10.00, the tab is intact..LOL. For real, dont be nieve, those tabs are no sort of safety measure. Try it out!!!

Well if you want to put it that way!! Let me rephrase myself. The little metel tab is connected to a BIG BLUE plastic top. If you buy one with the BIG BLUE plastic top off and the tab exposed, you're asking for it. Is that worded better now? By the way, don't think I'm being an ass, just trying to make a point.

Here's the best advice I can give anyone.... Order small don't drop a big load of change on a source, until sure, even then proceed carefully... Even good source sometimes can get bad sh*t, so be alert on everything you order... D.T.A. "Don't Trust Anybody" BR IP: Logged |

Hey, abomb... I figure on a 50% loss ratio on doing business this way (sad but true almost to the penny in my experiences). But you know what, I'm still ahead over buying from the local gym scums with their ridiculous prices and bullshit gear. There are a few totally honorable brothers out there who supply. If patient, you will locate one - treat him right, cause the good ones are few and far between. IP: Logged |

Thank god for the internet, all i ever saw around where i live was fake shit. Anyone with anything real was too afraid to reveil anything in fear that i was a narc. I found a great source whom helped me construct a cycle and gave me good, honest advise. Look for someone who is aiming to help before looking for someone who is looking for cash. IP: Logged |

A-BoMB, I disagree with you. Not just your skewed thinking but your remarks: "If a source is good, chances are that they will eventually be busted, as well as those who are using them to obtain their gear. If someone were to send me a money order, I would take it and not send them shit." "Take it not send them shit"? Look at your character, pal, that's all I can say. It's fucked up in my opinion. Problems happen, but a good source will do his (or her?) best to resolve them. And the solution isn't, for most people, traveling south of the border. Dexter ------------------ IP: Logged |

But if you find 'ya a good international source you will save boatloads of money. Worth the risk if you ask me. True scams are everywhere but that is why god put a good head on your shoulders so you can try and keep from getting ripped off. BTW, I use both but my foriegn source is so much cheaper, that I only go domestic if I have to. Peace...Mav IP: Logged |

O.K. A-bomb. So you've been scammed once ... or twice. And you proclaiming that everything about mail order to be a BS. I don't get it. That is your opinion only. So, you go to the nearest Pharmacy in your neighborhood and buy some test and few hundreds tabs of d-bol. In the matter of fact buy some for me as well. What are you talking about? When you saying that everybody is dishonest, are you judging by yourself? Lots of people do the mail orders, USA or foreign, and they are just fine. Any more questions on the subject? E-mail me or some of the mods. IP: Logged |

I disagree!!!!!!!!!!you always run risks when dealing with ilegal substances....but i cant buy the shit off of a local guy becuase that could seroiusly effect my job if someone found out...by mailordering no one knows..i tell know one about my AS use...in my office i keep protein powders and all kinds off supplements so people dont get fishy, when they ask what do you take i bring them to my office and show them all the shit and tell them to go to the nutrition store and buy some.....also buying in person you run a bigger risk of being caught be the Cops, most likely if your source is known he has someone that wants to take him out either a cop or another sorry fuck and you run the risk of being caught with him.........with mailorder, ya you run the similar risk but most likely if your order is small customs will send you a pretty little letter and you just move on...about your post of getting screwed with fake gear, we all run that risk, buying domestic is a bigger risk of getting bullshit gear...i have been scammed before, but when i found this board i never got scammed again becuase i use reputable sources that other brothers vouch for... Again there is always a risk this is just my opinion....... IP: Logged |

I just recently started using mail order and all i can say is they are much more reliable and have a much better variety of items to choose from and not to mention great prices.. The thought of some big government testing thing on all of us has crossed my mind though.. like who knows maybe theres terrorists from bangkok that crush up some kind of powder that spreads a horrible biological warfare weapon into the united states through roid users.. but i am paranoid.. lol IP: Logged |

Find yourself a good source (I obviously prefer domestic but to each his/her own). I dont agree that a good source has to go bad, that just doesn't make sense. Get yourself one good source that offers alot and build a relationship with him/her. If you have a good source, only recomend him to those you trust/know - unless he/she gave you his/her ok to spread the word. I have a dope ass source (sometimes I need when I can;t get down to mex b/c i am so damn busy). I try to make sure if I ever do hand out a name its soemone I have at least some knowledge of or have seena round - Its out of selfishness - I don;t want the man to get busted b/c then I who would I go to when Im busy. A Good Source is worth his/her weight in gold. Do some research ask around to find one. I feel for the bros who get scammed, but just do some fact finding. And for gads sake if you see a source post - be very skeptical and at least ask a mod. on a brighter note - Im 100% thus far (3/3). Slopain IP: Logged |

Hey guys, lots to clear up. In my last post I was venting... I am mad about the intire situation we are discussing. When I said that "if someone sent me a mail order I wouldn't send them shit" what I meant was that if I lived in Zimbabwe and some idiot sent me $500.00, I would have no problem relieving them of their excess wealth. By using the internet, we take away from the personability of human interface. It is much easier on the concious to steal from someone you know nothing about... just a name and CC number or Money Order. I am sure that their are some good sources, I know first hand of a good one that I use to get things that I normally cant find locally. My point is that I have never met this guy, he seems to care and wants to help but I am sure that serial killers seem to as well (gross comparison). It is CRAZY that we subject ourselves to such risks. It is sad that people can not be trusted and further that they might allow fellow humans to inject themselves with potentionaly life treatening substances for the sake of making a buck.This is my complaint BTW, I got my money back from the scam.. not from the source but by other means. So I am not sour... just confussed and upset... I hold myself to a higher standard of loyalty, honesty(for the most part), honor. It saddens me that the human spirit is capable of such grave injustices. Enough rambling... I hope that you all can see my P.O.V. in a differnt light. IP: Logged |

Well A-BoMB, I just noted another one of your statements: "When I said that 'if someone sent me a mail order I wouldn't send them shit' what I meant was that if I lived in Zimbabwe and some idiot sent me $500.00, I would have no problem relieving them of their excess wealth." I live in Russia. Big fucking deal. And most people are not wealthy, pal; buyers of gear are for the most part law abiding, family-oriented, productive citizens of whatever country they're from. And "releiving them of their excess wealth" without exchanging something of value previously agreed-to is thievery. It sucks. It's scamming. It's totally repugnant. Fuck you. (Sorry bro's, I really feel strongly about this issue.) Dexter ------------------ IP: Logged |

Dexter, crawl back into your Laboratory you degenerate fucking Commie poop. Am I to believe that you are preaching to me about moral standards? By picking apart what I say and manipualting my intentions you are far more guilty than any scammers. At least they have a purpose in scamming..money... what is your excuse for being such an Asshole? People who just cant wait to flame... what a bunch of insecure assholes. If you did not like my opinion... dont read it!!! If your ignorant lazy brain still can't figure it out, then let me clarify once again. THIS IS ENGLISH DEXTER: A person in another country has no obligation to fulfill his end of the bargain. MY POINT WAS NOT THAT AFRICANS (or Russians for that matter) ARE THIEFS, RATHER THAT IT IS EASIER FOR SOMEONE TO ROB YOU AND DO YOU WRONG WHEN THEY ARE NOT READILY AVAILABLE TO CONFRONT.. And it is easier on the person doing the scamming not to be confronted physically or emotionally. DOES THIS APPEASE YOUR LIL' TEMPER TANTRUM??? Why dont you take some classes on Reading. Often it is useful to read the entire selection and get the main idea. Dont judge a book by its cover...dont judge a post by a sentence...same principal FUCK-o. My post had little to do with scamming, why do you want to argue about that? The reason I used Zimbobwae is b/c I ordered my shit from Africa. ENOUGH SAID... Fuck you Dexter, I hope your testicles atrophy beyond recovery, you get a severe case of gyno, and your asshole implodes. When this happens I hope you feel real bad about being a mean person.
