Yea, I'm pretty sure that I trust the people here. As much as I can from not trying it. I am just trying to get through other worries. I'm destined to try. Thanks for this though.

First time purchase from GBN, My Review ....


A very candid post, regarding first time purchase.
Hello guys, I am the new guy here, having made my first purchase from GBN. A little bit if background about myself. I've been going to the gym on a regular basis throughout my adult life. I learned of GBN and the name "Big Tom" from a few of my close friends who have on numerous occasions successfully dealt with Big Tom and made successful purchases of various gear items. In the past, I relied on my friends whenever I wanted something and they were nice enough to get me whatever I wanted through GBN. But the truth is, you can do this for so long before even your close friend views you as a pain in the ass. I couldn't order directly myself out if fear, because of my employment. I could have lost my job if my employer learned of my mail order purchase of gear.
Years pass .... and I read various internet message board posts from different people who have ordered from web site based gear suppliers. These customers are frequently in a state of panic, asking for help from other message board members because these people who have placed orders are in fear of being fucked over since they haven't received there product and may have lost there money by sending money to a scam web site operation. I would always say to myself, buyer beware ! Any person should do there best to do there due diligence toward the business they wish to buy gear from, otherwise the buyer can be scammed. The way I see it, when a person initially buys gear, its no different than taking your cash and going to Atlantic City or a Vegas and gambling at the black jack table. You might win, but you also might lose. Because of this fact, one must do there research and due diligence to minimize risk of lose. I did this by speaking to my close friends who are serious body builders and hard core athletes. In doing so, I kept hearing about GBN, over and over and over. I also heard about other web site suppliers and these "other" suppliers were either hit or miss with delivery of product. Some of my friends got burned by these other suppliers
( not GBN ). I learned a valuable lesson through my friends negative experiences with these other suppliers. I always kept this information in the back of my mind. As time passed, my employment situation changes and I'm no longer worried about any issues from my employer if they learn of my mail order purchase of gear . The time came when I reached out to Big Tom, because I wanted to place an order. Before placing my order, I sent Big Tom numerous messages about my thoughts and concerns about ordering through internet. Big Tom answered EVERY SINGLE QUESTION I posed in my messages. He was in my opinion glad to answer any question I asked and make me understand the entire purchasing possess. I actually thought at one point, I might be annoying Big Tom with my many questions, prior to placing an order. Its my opinion, that Big Tom was nothing less than sincere and trying his best to inform me, educate me and answer whatever I asked in a logical manner. The more I messaged Big Tom, the more I understood, this guy "Big Tom" is totally legitimate, not some fly by night scammer. Big Tom explains whatever you want to know, in a step by step manner. He is not vague with his words or his replies. He is totally accurate in whatever he tells you. I was ready to place my order so I did exactly that, order was placed. I waited patiently for approx 3 weeks ( it was Easter holiday period ) . One day I return home from work, entered my house and i see a packet on my kitchen table. I knew immediately what the packet was. I looked at the label and confirmed that it was in fact Big Tom"s package. Holding the package in my hand, I had a smile on my face because I knew Big Tom is the Real Deal !!! I told my close friends that I received my first package and they kind of busted my balls, asking me, WHAT TOOK ME SO LONG TO BUY FROM BIG TOM. I started to laugh because my friends were right. I want the readers here to know, I never wrote about any item, product or person giving my opinion or review, because I just can't be bothered. I however felt compelled to share my story and experience with Big Tom. Big Tom is a serious businessman NOT a bullshit scam artist for anyone who might be nervous and cautious with placing an order. Thank you very much Big Tom. GBN is my ONLY source for gear!
