Hi, just wondering if anyone knows the cheapest way of getting primal/fungal defense in the UK.

http://www.synergy-health-shop.co.uk/ seems to be the only UK based distributor i can find, but 90 caps is £37! and theres no special deals ofr anything

Anyone know of a US based distributor that does free shipping and makes sure you dont get stung on tax. Will they be cheaper (i assume they will cause of the exchange rate)?

I know therawworld.com used to do schebang (sp?), but can find the products on their site anymore.

Any help would be much apprciated.

Hi Coconut

I can't remember the supplier from the UK for Primal Defense but I will look for you.

Chickpea says Prime Directive could be just as beneficial and I am going to order some when the Pm runs out. The link to the web page is below.

By the way where are you in the Uk? You could always update you profile page with county. It is always very handy for all of us to know who comes from where when advising on products.

Hi again Coconut

Yes, I got my PM from Synergy but it must have been on a special deal because I bought 2 bottles. Maybe, your best bet is to try Prime Direction.

They come in 150 gm pots for much less than PM. I started to wigh out four to see what the difference might be and when I got to 100 gm I stopped. WOW you would never get that much into one jar of PM let alone 150gm.

It's your choice

Take care

Cheers for the info Suzie.
Do you know if Prime Direction do an equivalent of Fungal Defense? There are some other interesting products on that site, have you tried SELF or any of the others?

I might e-mail Synergy and see if they can do me a deal. I may try the PDirection as well.

Thanks again.

Ps. Profile has been updated.

Hi coconut

I'm in the UK too and I get all my GOL stuff shipped from the States. I found this fantastic supplier on ebay, he has his own website too and supplies all GOL products. His shipping rates are VERY low (so it's an enormous saving on UK prices)

I normally buy 8 products at a time, so if you want a selection of stuff, buy from this guy as he's great to dfeal with. His name is Matt Monarch. I've bought from him many times and normally ships to me within 14 days, often much quicker. To date, I've always asked him to price up for me 'global express' and this seems to avaoid customs charges Smile Further, I ask him to mark down the price stated on the package.

Here are his links:

Hope that helps. UK companies are a joke when it comes to pricing.

I use Iherb.com their prices are good and delivery is quick.

Don't be too hard on UK company Prices. I used to sell Aloe Vera and had a whizz idea to import my own from the USA thinking I would save a packet and I would get a superior product. (I had found the guy who had started the whole Aloe Vera craze then sold his company to forever living. He was doing a new type of whole leaf Aloe that was meant to be much stronger).

Anyway the joke was on me as my $7 bottle of Aloe ended up costing me £9. They charged me 12.8% import duty on the Aloe which is a standard charge on goods from outside the EU. Then they charged me 17.5% VAT on top of that price. And as if that wasnt enough I was charged 17.5% on the postage too and the stuff was heavy so the postage was steep.

So everyone thinks a $10 product should cost £6 - no way hose!
If you are buying for yourself from the USA, try and find a way keep the price under £18 then you wont incur DUTY or VAT!
