Are there any discount codes for the the Irish myprotein site? The codes I have only work when I am on the UK account?

You absolute hero. Sound for that

I ordered mine today and it has been despatched. It gave an estimated delivery date of on or before April 11th. Would it be more likely to be after that date it arrives?

I also ordered from myprotein and am still awaiting its arrival after 7 days.

I ordered last wednesday at about 11am and still nothing has arrived a week later.Cant remember how long this crowd took to deliver before but I got the free delivery and not the DPD one as I only spent around 95 quid.

On the trackmytrakpak website using my tracking number it says

Date/Time Activity EventCode
01/04/2014 14:06 TRAK PAK PROCESS CENTRE 198
01/04/2014 14:07 ITEM MANIFESTED FOR COLLE - IE

On An Post track & trace it says

This was yesterday. Still no updates a day later.Anyone have any ideas?

Just a quick one, why did you waste your money on L-Carnitine?

To be honest I had a few quid left to spend and they were cheap so I said what the hell with it and went for them.

Wish I would of spent my last few euro on a new flask instead though because I wasn't exaggerating when I described how bad they are.

I reckon you'll get them this morning, similar situation to my own last week.

If not log onto your MP account and use the chat function to get in touch with somebody about it.

Just following up on my order from MyProtein:

1 smartshaker
120 multivitamin tablets
[/LIST

Selected tracked shipping, spent €4.95 on it (like everyone else).

Didn't get a tracking number, emailed about it and was told I selected an untracked shipping method (this isn't even an option when selecting shipping!) and was told up to 21 days before they would investigate as regular postage could take this long.

I queried it again and they sent me this:

Clowns!

I'm glad they refunded the shipping but they told me I selected untracked shipping when this was clearly untrue (couldn't be clearer as untracked wasn't an option to select).

Nope didn't arrive this morning either. Still no updates on the tracking number.

Getting annoyed at this stage. Been 8 days now. Hope it arrrives before the weekend.

Did you contact them directly yet?

runawaybishop · 03-04-2014 2:19pm

Do you pick the courier when you order or something? I've only ever received stuff from myprotein via DHL and its been very fast.

SpaceCowb0y · 03-04-2014 2:32pm

The bemoaning about MyProtein's delivery service is never ending on this thread!! I remember now why i unfollowed it in the first place! Come back after months and things haven't changed! Surely a separate thread for moaning about myprotein could be setup so this thread can be left for talk about the actual supplements themselves rather than the delivery of them!?

AlanDeGenerous · 03-04-2014 2:40pm

Stuff arrived from Bulk Powders yesterday after ordering on Monday, delighted with the service and price. Haven't tried the stuff yet though so I suppose I'm getting ahead of myself. Gonna knock back some of their pre-workout tomorrow morning though, hope it does the job!

I'm with Maw-reese on this!

dartstothesea · 03-04-2014 5:11pm

Bulkpowders is stupidly quick for delivery. Got the Whey Coffee (black coffee). It obviously tastes so, so **** but of course gains+stim feels glorious to my tastebuds

Its obviously good to be kept in the loop of their ever changing delivery service I would have thought?

I ordered off these guys about 2 years ago and I don't remember it taking this long so delivery times and couriers are obviously changing over time.

Anyway my package has arrived in portlaoise so hopefully I will be seeing it tomorrow or monday.

And like i said, for those that are interested in myprotein's delivery service i reckon it should warrant its very own shiny new thread where you can all discuss it in detail so this thread can be kept on track about actual supplements.

was looking into buying vit D3 from gonutrition, especially with some promotion going on, but noticed just in time they use "soya bean oil" :eek: as diluent... I guess I'll stay with myprotein who use olive oil

Is there really a big difference in this? I mean I get soy is not great or anything but it's not like you're eating a bucket of the stuff.

well, if I take 1 daily it accumulates up to 60g of soy bean oil per year :eek:

seriously, I don't know how bad it is, but I don't like it; and many people may not notice it at first, but would care about this difference so just wanted to highlight this

Easter eggs make an excellent Pre Workout supplement.

Myprotein use soya with their whey and casein, it's wrote on the back.

Is it in the ingredient list, or is it a production warning.

It's soy lecithin and it's on the ingredients as an emulsifier.

Different beast.

Only about a third of soy lecithin would be from soybean oil.

Just out of interest, is anyone still buying their supps from a bricks and mortar shop or all online? I only ask because i see a new one has opened up close enough to where i live and wonder how these places are still doing business, myself and a friend thought about opening one up a year or so ago as there isn't really one in our immediate locality but we decided against it mainly due to the fact that we both bought our supps from online wholesalers and didn't see how we could compete with the prices.

From what I've seen they either buy directly from the manufacturer or buy it from somewhere like HP Nutrition, either way your probably going to get better value online generally.

Used to use HP nutrition. It was grand, but I started using MyProtein and despite their sporadic delivery times I find them to be better value and quality overall.

You'd be buying discounted and in bulk from an online retailer and making cash that way - i cant imagine you'd be able to use it as your sole line of profitability though. You'd probably be able to do it as a sideline to something else, like a fitness business.

Hi, I ordered from myprotein last Wednesday and the an post track and trace updated yesterday to location. "With Sender" has anyone else experienced this? Any idea how long it should take to deliver from this point? I am officially out of protein today.
