Where are we going for protein?

Patsy167 · 27-08-2021 12:22pm

Yikes! That's a sharp increase in prices on MyProtein. Lowest I can see is €77 for 5kg after trying a few codes. Winter bulk is officially cancelled. Spaghetti arms for life!

antimatterx · 27-08-2021 1:15pm

They're literally ignoring my request for a refund. It's simply skirted around and they say they're "looking into it". I'm eating protein yogurts (which have 20g protein) while I wait.

Is that bulk or myprotein who are shipping from Poland?

ProteinWorks is also a great brand

That was MyProtein's live chat Bulk's site says they ship from Poland too but based on Trustpilot reviews they had the same issues with the new 2kg rule that MP had so they weren't shipping from Poland in that case.

Made an order from MyProtein last night, only 1kg whey in case it's blocked.

Just got dispatch email from DHL in German. Looks like Irish orders are coming from Bonn, Germany now.

€70 for 5kg vanilla impact whey with DOMlMYP

Thought it was €67 yesterday, prices seem to change by the day and depending what's in your basket.

Code doesn't work for me. Where did you find that one? Hoping there might be a similar one I can use to get a decent discount.

Black Sheep · 28-08-2021 11:03am

What are some Irish-made whey proteins that distribute within Ireland? (Obviously there are Irish retailers selling products from abroad within the county too, but I'd like Irish produced whey if possible)

Kinetica?

Flexinutrition?

ON(?)

Any others: Glanbia own BSN and Isopure, others too, does that mean it's all Irish produce?

I've certainly ordered from MyProtein and The Protein Works in the past, and maybe I will again, but I wouldn't mind supporting an Irish business and one that might make a lesser impact on the environment in terms of shipping, packaging etc.

Just figured out that the code given is wrong. It should be an 'I' in the middle but he's written a lower case 'l'! I just copied and pasted and never noticed.

antimatterx · 28-08-2021 3:32pm

Asked for a refund again. 2 orders in, and I've heard nothing.

VonLuck · 28-08-2021 5:44pm

I put in an order earlier today and got an email from DHL in German. Guess they're shipping from Germany now.

I got a refund issued this morning for a package that was ordered at the start of August but never arrived.

I order a 1KG bag last week (20th August), it still hasn't shown up and the tracking hasn't updated since.

I've loved My Protein but the CS and customer experience has been shocking.

VonLuck · 30-08-2021 10:59am

I ordered at the weekend and got an email yesterday saying it was dispatched. Expected delivery at the end of the week. We'll wait and see!

Zillah · 30-08-2021 3:42pm

Christ, wish I had checked in here before my last order. Waiting over three weeks now. Assholes in customer service are trying to act like everything is normal and I should just be patient, neglecting to mention they've had countless orders delayed or blocked by customs. I would be far more forgiving if they were up front about it. Think I will put them on my black list!

artanevilla · 30-08-2021 3:57pm

Ordered with MyProtien start of August, no animal or protein products, just other sups and a duffel bag.

Took two week to clear customs in the UK, arrived here into Fastway (15th) with no sign of delivery since (Fastway tracker says one or two day). Called out to the depot and they say customs here seized but should be released soon (last Wednesday), still no update so opening a case with MyProtein for non-delivery.

Such a pity as normally they have been flawless and are great for vitamins and other non-protein bits.

gaz22 · 30-08-2021 4:43pm

MyProtein said they would refund me the difference so I get 10kg of impact whey for €95. Happy with that but they should really be offering more for the mess they made with the customs issue. I got €5 voucher back in March because my order took three weeks to arrive.

Patsy167 · 31-08-2021 9:50am

5kg Impact Whey Protein coming in at <€50 with code on MyProtein today with the current PayDay sale

Just ordered two 5kg Impact whey protein. Should expect to receive it just before christmas, if ever, based on some of the reviews online but will let you know when it arrives

Zillah · 01-09-2021 1:14am

Just got notice that my package ordered 23 days ago has been returned. No reply to my message asking for a refund yet.

Received this morning, MyProtein shipped from Germany by the looks of the tracking. 6 days total including weekend. I cant complain.

I ordered on the 28th of August but haven't received anything yet. Gone beyond the estimated delivery date too. Less optimistic by the day!

Dave 101 · 08-09-2021 4:07pm

Ordered from bulk the 25th of august, still not received, coming from 🇳🇱 Contacted them on live chat and they refunded delivery 🙄

antimatterx · 08-09-2021 4:50pm

Received a 1KG bad from My Protein today. Ordered August 20th.

Shocking turnaround

stratowide · 08-09-2021 5:02pm

Ordered some creatine from bulk on 25th Aug.

Still no sign.Its sent from Poland apparently.

Used to get it next day delivery when they were bulk powders.

A pain in the hole really.

Esse85 · 08-09-2021 7:43pm

Ordered from MP 31/08, order arrived today minus a 3kg bag of whey which appears out of stock. Not sure whether this will be sent out or if they will issue refund.

Sent off a few emails and a live chat yesterday.

Dunno if it's coincidence but it arrived today.

Better late than never I suppose.

gaz22 · 10-09-2021 9:32am

An Post have had my MyProtein 10kg of whey sent from Germany since the 3rd. It was sent to wrong delivery office on the 7th and since then has had 7 updates saying we have your post in "dublin parcel hub" and "your delivery has been sorted" some of those updates happpen at 3am. Can't get in contact with anyone at An Post about it.
