Well, again it depends on what you are buying.
I'll give a specific example (one based on memory of what Popeys was selling for; they're prices may have changed, but probably not - this is just specific pricing example; it matters little if you like or hate the product):
1 container of BSN Tru Mass:
---BB = $38 ($54 with shipping)
---Popeys = $80 (not including tax)
3 containers of tru mass
---BB =$146 shipped
---Popeys = $210 (not including tax)
With BB there is no tax and no customs.
The savings are substantial enough for me, whether I am buying BSN, or ON, or Universal products.

This is both true and unfortuante. I like Animal Pak but you can't get it shipped to Canada (they won't allow it). Of the top of your head, what is Popeys charging for a 44 pack of AP?
Anyways, I used to shop at Popeys all the time (or SN Depot before it sold to Popeys), and my purchases were always limited - never more than some cheaper whey and maybe some creatine.
But with the increased savings I've received since shopping elsewhere (and with a strong dollar) I've been able to try new things just for the hell of it and having disposable income laying around. So it works for me. $80 - $90 for Muscle Milk? Meh.....
