How much is your local place?

Muscle fin do it for 28 quid (GBP) on tuesdays + postage of 5 quid. You can get up to 30 kg worth of stuff delivered for this though

itsallaboutheL · 12-11-2010 4:51pm

I would just like to say that discountsupplements are a ****ing disgrace.

2 weeks and still no sign of my order?

Diceicle · 12-11-2010 9:58pm

Could someone please tell me the difference between Nut X Pro Matrix and Nut X Pro X Elite..............

I was thinking of trying the Matrix as some here seem to recommend it but I can pick up the elite as part of a bundle.

Can anyone clear this for me?

I've never had more than a 2 day wait on delivery from them, I'd be all over them like a rash about this.

Their a disgrace, I was waiting 3 weeks last month. I sent numerous emails after 2 weeks to cancel the order and refund me, they ignored my emails, customer service is awful too. My Dad signed for the package while I was out, if I had of been there, I wouldnt of signed for it. In fairness they used be very good, but I will never use them or recommend them again now.

wersal gummage · 13-11-2010 12:52pm

got some whey protein from bulkpowders. when i mix it the whole shaker just turns to foam with just a drop of drinkable stuff at the very bottom. i've never had this problem with any other protein shake before. i let it sit for ages but its still the same, get a little bit more out of the bottom of it. terrible stuff. anyone have this problem and what do you do to get around it ??? (blenders are no good because i dont have one and, if i do get one, i dont plan on carrying it around with me all day for when i have my shakes....).

What's the point in not signing for it?

Should have just stayed with myprotein, i emailed them thursday and no reply.

tbh every company will be pretty much equal in the quality of the main supplements like whey protein and creatine.

Creatine monohydrate is creatine monohydrate no matter what bag it comes in, and imo you shouldn't buy from a company solely on their how 'big' the company is (i.e. how much marketing power they have!).

While similarily whey protein is pretty much the same story, there can be slight differences between products such as the carb content. Some have more carbs (which usually means a better taste), so just have a look at the nutritional info for each product and choose your own preference.

All in all, i think you should choose by price per weight, rather than by product name.

Guys on here will suggest good sites for buying good supplements for cheap. I have used www.bulkpowders.co.uk recently and found them good. Previouly I have used www.myprotein.co.uk and found them excellent (but this is opening a whole other can of worms right now!)

As has been said GymGuy, the basic supplements are pretty much the same. In many cases their whey is sourced from the same place etc. You can look at ordering in from the UK (bulkpowders or myprotein - who have an irish store now too) or from one of the many irish online stores. Mostly, find a price that suits you and find the products in that range. Try a couple as taste can vary and you're gonna be drinking a lot of the stuff so taste sorta matters

If your just starting out with supplements than maybe stick to the main two for the moment (protein and creatine mono). Maximuscle products can be a bit over priced really and you don't need to spend that much. Consider irish online stores rather than shopping in the actual physical shops, as you'll often save 15-20% off the cost. I personally use ON Whey but it's mostly a taste thing. You can get cheaper but I save 20% by buying it from Nutrition Connection's online store. They often have deals and offers too... I got a free tub of creatine mono on my last order so I got €140 euro's (shop price) worth of stuff for €93.

So yeah, check out the uk as an option and these irish online stores. See what price looks right and there you go. Whey is whey so don't worry about different brands too much.

If it doesnt get signed for, it will eventually get sent back to the original company.

That is why.

Not sure how much the superpump is or but the myofusion is €13 dearer than other places ive seen it

billyhead · 15-11-2010 11:01am

Hi,

I have purchased items form My protein in the uk on one previous occasion before but when I try to get itsm this time around when checking out it states that the delivery number is not the same as the one on my credit card or someothing along them lines. What do you use? I am getting browned off trying to different postal code numbers etc.

Find that hard to believe to be honest, dont think the margins are there ti sell it that cheap. Muscle finesse are selling it for 35 GBP or 41 euro! Where can you get this for 28 quid? provide links!

(you can also get 10% of muscle finesse making the price only 37 euros)

Apologies! I thought you were saying you have seen somewhere selling myofusion 13 euro cheaper than Muscle finesse which would be super cheap lol!

Muscle finesse are usually the cheapest for branded supps.

billyhead · 15-11-2010 4:10pm

Can anyone suggest a cheap protein deal online? No rush on delivery times either so Uk site suggestions will do

Which achieves what exactly?

Apart from you not getting a product you obviously wanted. And having to wait even longer to get it
