Where are we going for protein?

I ordered some vitamins & a couple of other items from Bulk last Friday night at 10.30pm.

They arrived today from the Netherlands, so a week (including the weekend).

Did you ever try to place an order from MyProtein's .de domain?

I've got as far as the checkout page but the only countries in the drop down list to select for delivery are Germany, United Kingdom, Netherlands, Austria, Portugal, and Switzerland. Which is strange seeing as Irish customers' orders are now shipped from Germany anyway.

I'm wondering if I cheekily select UK as an over-ride, and then just type Republic of Ireland in one of the manual fields, if it would still find its way to me.

After nearly three months missing, the order was returned to MyProtein. Some of the contents had been sent to me via Germany but a terrible experience all around dealing with them.

If everything works, they are great, if ANYTHING goes wrong, well you are on your own...

Just my own experiences.

My Protein - ordered Oct 25th. Delivered October 29th via Germany. 2.5kg Protein.

Bulk - ordered Oct 25th. Delivered 3rd November via Netherlands. 1kg Intra-Workout.

Some posters in https://www.boards.ie/discussion/2054989471/supplements/p228 have advised that BCAA's are pretty useless, if already getting sufficient protein.

What flavour? I have stuck with Chocolate smooth lately and no issues. I have heard mixed report on mixability of Salted caramel and vanilla.

Salted caramel. Tastes pretty bland and slightly vanilla-ey. Maybe they mislabelled my batch?

I mix mine in shakes and that's where I really notice it. It's fine in porridge as I don't really notice much of a flavour after I've mixed in berries, nuts and other bits for my breakfast.

I wonder if that's something to do with the product now being made in Poland or Germany, whereas before it was the UK. Ingredients appear the same on paper, but possibly different procedures for dairy products could be affecting the taste.

Maybe I should drop a complaint. I had complained a few years ago about a damaged bag that I received and they sent me out a new one which was more than I expected given that it likely wasn't their fault. Although from reading some recent posts their customer service may have dipped recently!

If I ordered something from the MP UK website (over 2kg), would the order get sent or routed through EU first, or would it just get sent from the UK and likely blocked at customs? The product I want isn't available on the .ie site. I connected to MP chat but they didn't know and just advised to contact customs.

And good deals on whey protein for Black Friday?

MP have 50% off advertised yet the impact whey still comes in at €17.50kg as they have hiked up the original price to €35kg

Has anybody elses MP orders been delayed? Tracking info from FedEx shows it leaving the Netherlands but nothing showing up on the Fastway website at all despite delivery originally scheduled for Tuesday-Wednesday

MyProtein finally doing a proper sale this morning for Cyber Monday. 5kg whey + Free Protein Bar + Free delivery for €58. That's great value!

Pulled the trigger on the evening of Black Friday, arrived last Friday. I think that's Ok tbh - arriving with An Post these days (which is an added bonus)

Since the issues and the genuine switch to EU distribution, they've been An Post iirc. Anyway, I'm the same ordering in advance, but got trigger happy going on this thread!
