Where are we going for protein?

Glad to hear Bulk have sorted their issues. I ordered just before Christmas, no sign of it. Got onto them and they said they'd issues with the courier/Brexit and sent a replacement. Replacement sent out in Jan, no sign of it so I got a refund.

Might order again though, they're usually on the ball and for things like superfood powders they're the best I can find.

Read through the thread but didn't see The Protein Works mentioned.

I used to always get my stuff from them when I was living in the UK but went off them when I worked out that they were charging 40% more for their Whey Protein "360 Extreme" with little difference in the macros compared with their regular protein. The taste was better I'll admit but barely. It wasn't so much the 40% difference, but the fact they didn't publish my review and fobbed off my questions about why pissed me off. They seemingly have little to no reviews less than 5 stars �� And when I went digging on their product claims, I didn't see them listed on Labdoor.com—but then few are.

Also got tired of their every other day promos. I'm like, just charge me 5% more than what I'd be paying with all these nonsense codes and don't make me go fishing for the most optimal discount codes. But then all that seems to be a problem with the supplement industry at large.

The thing is, I'm looking for a company that sells high-quality protein, blended oats and cashew nut butter. I usually stock up by placing big(ish) orders ~€200 worth after discounts. That's where The Protein Works (and sometimes Go Nutrition) were decent.

It sounds like MyProtein or Bulk Powders are the way to go? I'd go back to The Protein Works but would need a) some real assurance around their product quality and b) delivery without the Brexit related issues.

I'm certain when I was researching before that My Protein had some product drawbacks or other issues, which I can only assume were significant enough for me to choose The Protein Works in the first place. Bulk Powders controversy already covered in the thread, and I see that was for ancillary products but it doesn't exactly inspire confidence.

I'm surprised to see the dominance of MyProtein and Bulk Powders and no mention of TPW in the Thread. Is that solely due to Brexit delivery issues or is their a view TPW sell junk? Or what is it I'm missing here.

I haven't ordered protein in months. When I finished out my last lot I didn't order any as my training has taken a major hit this past while but getting back in the game—time to get an order in.

Edit: Will happily consider Irish companies but even at the best of times in the UK, I used to find it hard to source 1kg tubs of Cashew Nut Butter and 2.5kg-5kg bags of blended oats for decent quality and price.

try bulk powders , ship from poland i think

so the order with Bulk that shipped on Jan 6th arrived yesterday, via fedex, still one outstanding order from Dec 23rd, maybe that will show up soon??
hopefully that's the brexit crap sorted for now

I buy from local stores, and before that, I look for information and read reviews. I only know that gyms can sell good protein, and they can give you recommendations.

They (bulk) replied to me yesterday, order from December was recalled, not sure what the means but they did refund me immediately so I'm happy with that. I went ahead and placed another order, that's shipped with Fedex already so they seem to be back to normal.

What's a good discount on Myprotein ? Currently looking at €61 for 5kg of Whey protein. Is that about as good as it gets?
