Price
The main reason for getting your supplements online for most people is the price. Online retailers are generally obliged to offer the same products at discounted prices as an incentive for shopping online as the concept is still not completely mainstream.

Now a few tips for you:

Do a few independent reviews first.

Find a site that reviews the product you wish to buy or look in some forums to see what is being said about the product from people who are actually using it rather than following the marketing hype of the companies selling the products. You can try doing a google search for "(desired product) review" or "(desired product) forum". for a good place to start. Generally you'll find the message to be slightly different from the marketing material to real peoples opinions but you will know the best products when you see the two of those line up.

Legitimacy and Safety.
A few other things you want to make sure is that the product is legitimate. Legitimate meaning one, that it isn't registered as illegal by any sport governing bodies and two that it has come from a high quality, well reputed manufacturer. Don't get me wrong, the majority of bodybuilding supplements fit this criteria well but it does always pay to check these things out.
