Hi!

So I wanted to buy some Optimum Nutrition 100% Whey Gold Standard. Now I went on amazon.com thinking that i can get a good deal on there for 5 pounds of milk chocolate whey protein, which I could. it was $65-ish AUD which is a lot more cheaper than you find in retailers ($100-ish AUD for 5 pounds). Problem is, this particular product DOES NOT ship to australia, for some reason. Anyway, any AUSTRALIANS know where I can get a good price on this product online or offline, similar to the amazon listing? (I live in Western Australia)

    Import duty restrictions. Retailers have to pay out the a** for any cow-related products from the US, partly because of the fear of mad cow and partly because you guys have more cows than humans, and they're protecting the Australian beef and dairy industry. Australian retailers can't eat the cost so they have to up the price to cover the fees, and US websites can't eat the cost to ship it to you because they wouldn't make any money on it. Blame your government and cow lobbyists.

    Really sorry.
