Collagen protein will do the trick.

I can't use whey or soy unless I want to spend the day on the toilet.

Collagen protein from bulk or myprotein does the job.

How does one flavour it?

They had a tread about it recently. No mention of intolerance. I think they just find the standard on very sweet.

I only commented on a thread about, soy lecithin...

The soy lecithin isn't an issue for me, it's the actual soya protein that some add in

My last bag was chocolate peanut butter and it’s rank with water unless it’s almost frozen

Choc Peannu from Bulk Powders? I really like that favour. Think it tastes like Blondies (the cake)

Sorry I mixed you up with a poster who asked the exact same thing in a thread last week.

Stand by my suggestion though. Not sure why people are complicating it by projecting soy intolerances, or their dairy issued on to you.

What's wrong with plain old whey protein?
In natural or stevia flavours obvs.

Was looking at bulkpowders Stevia Sweetened protein, but it's a blend of soya and whey from the ingredient list

The one I linked is whey protein concentrate.

Stevia Strawberry Flavour:
Whey Protein Concentrate (Milk) (96%), Emulsifier (Soy Lecithin), Flavouring, Colour (Beetroot Red), Sweetener (Steviol Glycosides)

Apologizes, I only looked at the first 12 or so flavours(all of which had sucralose) but my word that's a lot of flavours

Thank you sir

I bought a couple of kilos of MyProtein. Seems to arrive within 5-6 days of ordering now (to Dublin).

Whenever I see "new and improved flavour" I always buy it in the drop-down list of flavours. I'm convinced it's a marketing ploy, it always tastes indistinguishable from the last batch as far as I can tell, no matter the flavour.

Sometimes the "out there" flavours can be surprisingly good. Eton Mess is a better strawberry flavour than strawberry itself... The Pastel de nata is also really good, kind of a cookie dough / batter flavour.

I haven't paid anything more, or it's been marginal - no different than before Brexit, you just have to hold off (if you can) for the fairly regular 45% or 50% off.

silverharp · 15-07-2021 08:55PM

my Protein 5KG €44.56 including delivery today

WhiteMemento9 · 02-08-2021 03:33PM

What are the best alternatives to my protein? Ordered from them over two weeks ago and still nothing. Contacted support who said that delivery can take 21 days. This seems ridiculous. I don't mind paying more elsewhere for a better delivery time?

caviardreams · 02-08-2021 10:30PM

HPNutrition are very good with delivery - will be significantly dearer than myprotein but it will come the next day in my experience. Some decent prices at times on the likes of ON etc. €48 for 2.2kg, PES Select 1.8kg for €40 and free delivery over €50 think.

Alf Veedersane · 02-08-2021 10:34PM

I've had decent delivery times with Bulk this side of Brexit also

I know it's not much consolation but I've never heard any issues like this before with MyProtein. I would get in touch with them to see whether somethings gone wrong in the background.

silverharp · 03-08-2021 10:32AM

seems to have gone very slow, my order with MyProtein is with customs since about the 25th July

I had one that was slow, and it was to do with the free hand sanitizer! But that was back at the start of the year iirc.

WhiteMemento9 · 03-08-2021 11:41AM

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/117698438#Comment_117698438

I ordered on the 19th.

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/117698045#Comment_117698045

They just said the order had been sent by them and tough luck it can take up to 21 days. Get back in touch with us then if it still has not arrived after this timeframe. I won't be ordering from them again.

1123heavy · 03-08-2021 02:44PM

I have always ordered from bulk powders, never had any issues until now.

Ordered on the 23rd July and it was dispatched immediately but never received it. 4 days ago I got an email apologising for the delay saying they are no longer allowed to ship animal products >2kg to Ireland. It was stopped at the FedEx facility in Basildon and sent back to Bulk.

They told me they are working on a solution but have said a refund is being actioned - critically low on the whey .. about 3/4 scoops left.

silverharp · 03-08-2021 02:55PM

at least my one seems to be in Ireland

Hi

Thank you for contacting Fastway Couriers.

This is currently in our Central Sorting Hub awaiting full customs clearance.

If you keep updated on www.fastway.ie tracking and it will provide you with any additional information. This should be out to you over the next 24 to 48 hours.

Let me know if I can assist with anything else"

This is standard practice. Most places will say wait up to 28 days to allow it time to arrive before refunding. Delayed parcels will usually arrive in that time frame, if it doesn't arrive after 28 days it's actually lost or misdelivered and they can issue a refund.

Otherwise everyone would be asking for a refund after a week. Bit childish to not shop somewhere because the delivery company have misplaced it.

I don't want to wait 3/4 weeks for something I can easily get elsewhere without that wait time. This looks like an issue a few people are/have had with them recently. So I think it is perfectly reasonable to look somewhere else more reliable for future purchases of a product many other companies sell. I don't see what is childish about that at all. Should I just keep ordering in the hopes things might be better next time or just go with someone I know will deliver it within a reasonable timeframe? I get that Brexit is causing some logistical problems so my hope when I originally posted was to find a company delivering from an Irish warehouse.

Esse85 · 03-08-2021 10:33PM

Ordered over €100 worth of products from MyProtein, delivery date was expected to be July 21 - 23

Looking at the tracking, it says July 25th, Arrived in Country.

I just contacted MP tonight about this. Based on the replies ye got, I except I'll be told to wait it out another few weeks which is not ideal.

el Fenomeno · 04-08-2021 01:54PM

I was just on to support who said my order (which has only been showing as "Departed The Hut" on 26 July and no update since) will be delivered by Friday, so fingers crossed.

I've also opened a PayPal dispute in the meantime, as is standard when an item has not been received by the expected delivery date.

ironictoaster · 05-08-2021 10:02PM

Still waiting for my order from 20th of July. Not ideal!

JimmyCorkhill · 05-08-2021 11:12PM

Ordered from Bulk on the afternoon of 25th July & it shipped the same day. For some reason it took till the 2nd of August to arrive in the country, so 8 days or so, which is crazy.

Currently going into the 6th August and no sign of it, last it says on the 2nd August - non EU presented to customs.

Sent Bulk an email earlier today, will see what they say.

Very frustrating.

JimmyCorkhill · 06-08-2021 09:12AM

Got the following reply from Bulk on my order.

So, maybe it is a case of wait & see can they find a work around or else order less than 2kg in total of animal products.

"Hello,

We're hugely sorry for the delay regarding your recent bulk™ order -

We have been shipping well for months now. After investigation - we discovered that sadly due to a recent un-notified change to personal allowance import rules, we are unable to send orders containing over 2kg of animal origin products. For us, that includes popular products such as Pure Whey Protein, Liquid Egg Whites and other customer favourites.

We were not made aware of this change coming into effect prior to sending out your order (otherwise we wouldn’t have sent it and informed you), and as such your parcel has been refused entry into Ireland and will be returned to us. You will be fully refunded for the cost of your order and shipping, and the refund will be with you in the next 2-3 days.

We are truly aware of how disappointing and frustrating this experience is for you, and it is absolutely not the service we should be providing you as a valued bulk™ customer.

The teams are working hard on processing your refund and ensuring we have a new delivery solution for orders going ‘Live’ over the weekend (we thought we might need a back-up).

We can’t apologise enough for the inconvenience this must have caused. The experience hasn’t been to the usual high standards we pride ourselves on and we are working tirelessly to resolve this issue as soon as possible. We understand the impact of not receiving your order in good time on your health & training.

If you need any more information or have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact us at hello@bulk.com. Team bulk™"

Where are we going for protein?
