    Same here...clearly a very popular name among their Irish customers. Maybe this attention to detail explains why I'm waiting a month for my order.

    Had the same email here and still no sign of the order and since I've run out now I've nothing in the house protein shake like....

    Anyone links to a quick turn around in Ireland, have to get something

    I placed an order on the 4th of Jan, it's now a month later and my order is still in transit.

    I do like MyProtein, and the prices are great. I'll just order well before I'm out next time.

    Ordered from bulk on 10th Jan and no sign. At least myprotein orders seem to be arriving,based on some comments here, so thinking of ordering from them and hopefully one of the 2 orders will arrive before March. Ill get through them both in the next year . Am vegan and the Irish sites just cant compete with their vegan powders on price.

    I've been waiting since the 22nd of December for Bulk. They've given me a few discount codes because I've been emailing them and claim it'll be here by Friday week but I'm doubtful. If it isn't I'm just canceling and asking for a refund. Ran out of protein today so I'm fairly annoyed at this stage.

    Ordered from Bulk on 27th and was notified yesterday it had been dispatched.

    When I was ordering it said to allow 10 days so we'll see.

    Not in urgent need (I never urgently need whey to be fair) but said I'd order early (and often).

    I only ever use it for mixing with Greek yoghurt because they are an amazing combination.

    With yogurt, and in my morning porridge.

    www.aobnutrition.ie stock myprotein products. Prices have gone up a little since I ordered a few weeks ago, but still very good value and service...delivery in a couple of days. I got mine to tide me over while waiting for my order from myprotein in the UK, but that could be floating in the middle of the Irish Sea for all I know at this stage.

    Has anybody ever tried anything from OstroVit? I saw their whey on HP Nutrition, so had a look on their own website, seems they are fairly reasonably priced for all supplements. Can't find any Labdoor tests or anything like that on the protein to see if it's any good. Very little info online about them.

    Ordered from Bulk on the 27th of January with a 10-day timeframe flagged. Was delivered this morning so 12 days so reasonable enough.

    I ordered on 10th Jan and still hasnt arrived. Maybe i should cancel that and order again. Wonder if theyve found some other couriers and more recent orders more likely to arrive

    MyProtein seem to be blaming An Post now

    I ordered twice last week - one whey, one bars, split by pay day. One on the way, the other not even dispatched yet!

    Still awaiting my order from the 22nd December. Tomorrow is the last day in the two week range Bulk said they hoped to have the re-sent package arrive by.

    From myprotein? Jaysus thinking of hedging my bets and ordering again from bulk and myprotein. Knowing my luck, all 3 deliveries will arrive and I won't have any room to store in house

    Ordered from Bulk yesterday. Got email yesterday that it has been shipped. Currently at FedEx cross border process centre. We'll see how it goes!

    Going better than me so far. I got the 'dispatched' email 5/6 days after ordering and delivery 6 days after that

    Yes, myprotein. Due by the 15th is what they said on the first one, so fair enough, but the other was due to dispatch on the 5th and hasn't!

    Could anyone tell me if the myprotein delays experienced relate to dispatch or delivery, or both?

    I had to wait about 10 days from order but then got a dispatch email and tracking number 10 days ago but no movement at all, hermes courier and just something like we have your parcel....

    Also how have people contacted my protein? On their website I can only find twitter, Facebook or create an account, I don't want to create an account as I don't plan to use them again. Anyone have an email address??

    Thanks

    Delivered this morning, so "on time" for what they said. The second order still hasn't dispatched - I raised a ticket, and they just went with "unprecedented demand". There's nothing urgent in it, and happy to wait for it to be honest.

    Ordered mine on the 05th Feb, dispatched on the 07th with the Hermes tracking email and AnPost tracking tells me I'll have it today (after myprotein email telling me "Delivery will take place today.") Expected it to take longer going from folks experience in here but can't complain if it turns up.
    5kg of whey for under €52.59 discount coded is hard to beat IMO.

    My Protein order shipped on 5th and just arrived, expected delivery on site between 14th and 16th so all good.
    Still no sign of bulk order that shipped on Dec 23rd, thinking it's time to get my money back
    I received a vague email from them about a new courier that is not providing tracking information, so do you need to stay home indefinitely for the delivery, all very strange
