    I ordered from Myprotein on the 27/12 and the tracking redirects to Hermes. No tracking beyond 2 Jan with estimate of the 8-12 Jan. No sign and no update since the 2nd. Has anyone had Myprotein orders done with Hermes? Not sure even where my parcel is.

    I haven't ordered since the end of the transition period, but I think they've been Hermes UK side for ages?

    Could be. I have contacted them on chat and they said they would issue a refund or replacement. Opted for refund with the Brexit mess. Waiting for that to be processed. Have ordered from Hp nutrition in the meantime.

    Just to add to my first experience of HP. Placed an order yesterday at 1.46 pm. Just arrived at my door in Donegal from the post man at 10.20am. Under 24 hours to the other side of the country. I don't think you can possibly get much quicker delivery than that.

    Bodyfirst making hay while the DPD/MP debacle shines:

    Yes I would of thought so and they also have quicker delivery times than Myprotein.

    ive used bulkpowders.ie for maybe 10years or so .
    In the last year they change delivery company and things took a lot longer.
    complained last 2 orders but tbh they didn't really care.

    I've about 2/3 months whey left but after that i'll be getting a new supplier.

    I ended up buying of rosnutrition and was delivered next day, they've 30% off as well at the moment using code recover if anyone is interested.

    I ordered with AOB Nutrition on Tuesday and it was delivered this morning...very happy with that...never used them before. They stock myprotein products and seem a good bit cheaper than bodyfirst (just had a quick glance). Impact Whey is pretty much the same price as ordering directly from myprotein.ie and you're supporting an Irish business.

    Surprised they have MP impact whey so cheap since it's a fiver cheaper than in the MP site (and Bodyfirst)!

    My order from MyProtein (being delivered by DPD) has apparently been delivered by DPD.

    This is a lie. It's not in my house, I know nobody with the signature they claim to have, and I always get a text from DPD when I'm getting a delivery, not this time. I happened to check the tracker and the status went from "missing" to "delivered" and they remove the "missing" status completely from the history.

    The Irish domain will make no difference. They still have issues shopping to Ireland primarily because of DPD

    This happened here late November, it said the order was delivered but came a week after the latest advisory delivery date. Customer service said that it was with the courier. Not sure if this was all due to Brexit or the volume of deliveries, nevertheless the tracking was very wrong.

    I have an order on the way from My Protein. The tracking says it's with Fastway.
    Ordered on Jan 14th and dispatched from UK(I presume) the following day. Still not scanned in to Fastway's system
    Has anyone had to pay any customs or anything?

    I hope not. I ordered today too.

    From their site ;
    For customers located in the EU, we will despatch from our distribution centre within the EU. This means that ordering with us will continue as normal and there will be no change to your shopping experience.

    I saw that on their website alright but my order seems to have originated in the UK so I'm dubious of their claims to be honest.

    For anyone ordering from MyProtein, I've found the Eddie Hall 37% off code "BEAST" often provides a better discount than whatever promotion they are running on the site

    so what whey do people order off my protein or hp nutrition etc that compares to gold standard whey?
    is the my protein stuff better than gold standard?

    Impact whey from MP

    If you want a better quality go with isolate.

    Will you notice any difference between the two? Apart from in the pocket then no.

    Myprotien order arrived just now, ordered on the 12th so look like they've sorted issues, a bit slower than usual maybe but it got here with no issue.

    Compare the protein content, e.g. grams of protein per 100g of product.

    Not all whey is equal and all that.

    Not to pick on any specifically but just to give an idea, BSN Syntha 6 has 64.8g per 100g, Olimp Whey Protein Complex has 75g protein per 100g, ON Gold Standard as 80g protein per 100g, MyProtein Impact Whey has 74g protein per 100g.

    There's always a trade off with cost and I wouldn't get too hung up on small differences but when the % goes too low, there's likely a lot of shítty filler in it

    Thanks for the update.
    Who delivered it and did you have to pay any customs/vat etc.?
