I buy my whey protein from mass119.com. I paid a week ago and they usually deliver in 2-3 days. But now the help and contact e-mails don't work. I'm tempted to call the US phone number, but can I get a refund somehow. I paid by bank transfer.

I dunno, seems so. I was about to get some stuff and seems the website is down. Maxpowershop.com is also down.

The two best sites in Korea to get decent stuff...hmmm.

Hmmm...seems the site is blocked for illegal content...WTF? I wonder if they were selling supplements illegal in Korea and therefore got shut down???

Google translation:

Illegal information (site) interception guidance you against connects the site at law to be including the illegal contents which it forbids, the connection against a corresponding site was intercepted to inform, it gives. This management passes by the mind of information communication ethics committee in request of the charge agency and it follows lawfully, in the telecommunication enterprising law and a thing which will be intercepted with the cotton lower part field star charge agency and there is a doubt fact regarding hereupon and about under meaning of a passage it gives it wishes. Together for information cultural window month which is healthy request it gives you active cooperation.

Damn, checked EVERY shop I could find through google KOrea, seems EVERY place that sells protein is banned.

Anyone know if they made protein powder illegal in Korea?

My guess is that some of these over-priced Korean protein companies paid someone off to block foreign brands.

It's your internet provider. Go through a proxy (proxy.org) to get the sites email address. Email them about the problem. Or simply email your internet provider and threaten to switch providers if they don't remove their stupid firewall.
