Default CarbSmart - Ripoff Ebay sellers

Wow, I just moved from California to Toronto and thought I'd look into getting some CarbSmart vitamins on ebay.... BIG mistake!

I found 7 people selling em on eBay, and they either won't sell to Canada or were charging $21.00 to send them through the USPS... Give me a break! Sending those vitamins at the Post office would take an extra 40 seconds to fill out a customs form... I guess that would justify an extra $17 US?!

I think I'm going to have to start investigating what other vitamins I can get here in Canada instead...

Well Canada has lots of vitamins I'm sure you can find something to suit you at either a drugstore or places like G.N.C.

Just out of interest what was so special about the carb smart ones ?

There's nothing worth an extra $21, that's for sure!

I'm just a creature of habit... I was taking CarbSmarts and knew they were made especially for people on low carb diets...

But I can change.. I CAN... I swear!

Get some Centrum vitamins. I use those and they are the best IMO.

P.S. I hope you are enjoying Toronto. I'm a Torontonian currently living in Hamilton and if you want something fun to do in the fall, The Royal Canadian Air Farce gives out free tickets to thier tapings. The next season resumes Sept 5. I'll be at several of them during the course of the season.
