MyProtein claims to be U.K.'s No.1 in sports nutrition and is expanding in to the U.S. market. Labdoor gives their Iso Pro 97 whey, Impact whey isolate and Impact whey high scores for quality and price. #1, #2 and #4 respectively.
Range: The range of products is quite large. Selection can be made from "your goal" "your sport" "best sellers" ect
Shipping: $3.99 or free over $70. Shipped from a U.S. warehouse, usually arrives UPS in 3-5 days.
Packaging: heavy laminated resealable re-usable pouches 0.2 lbs, 250g and up for powders. Large block lettering to help you quickly grab what you need.
Quality: I perceive the quality of what I've received to be very high. They offer products in a range of qualities, Whey being a prime example. Shop carefully.
Flavors: I usually prefer unflavored but you can score a deep discount on a promoted flavor. I find the flavors light clean and true which says a lot from a picky guy like me.
Site Ease of Use: 3/10. When something goes o.o.s while shopping it simply disappears from your basket. It's a very slow and annoying site. Some sales require you to enter a coupon code listed on the site while other sales do not. If you've got a good deal in the basket pay the $3.99 sh and check out before it's gone. You can add the same product to your basket from two different pages and get different prices.
Pricing and marketing ploys: Know the market price before buying. Keep a pad handy. Jot down prices, size and expected discounts. The advertised price is often not reflected at check out. For example today's protein powder discount was promised at 30% but only 25% discount given.
The discounted price should appear to the right of the regular price on order summary page. Sometimes you'll get a discount applied to sale priced items and sometimes not. ++Regular non-discounted price is no bargain++ When lucky though you can realize up to 75% off or more. Deep discounts usually apply to only one flavor and may be offered merely because expiration date is less than a year out.
Coupon stacking: The site promised that a protein code was stack-able. It permanently wiped out a "10% off everything" promo I'd earned. Annoying.
... My strong advice to the marketing manger:
Cut the coupon crap, drop regular pricing to a consistently competitive price point.
List wt in both U.S. pounds and metric grams.
Fix your balky site. U.S. consumers don't want to waste time ordering or price comparing.
Recent deals:
MyProtein whey (not isolate) $10.24 for 2.2lbs, 1kg pouch Natural Chocolate. "regular price" $38. Great deal for a clean tasting product even though I prefer unflavored
L Glutamine powder 100%: $5.76 for 2.2 lbs (1 kg)
BCAA 2:1:1 $7 for 0.5 lbs
Beef Jerky 85g $1.95. contains 33g protein. not a premium nitrate free jerky but a deal none the less and quite tasty.
In summary very competitive pricing can be had on quality supplements however you must be on your toes, track pricing and verify discounts given. Just because Labdoor ranks some of their products like BCAA very highly does not infer the same to the full line.
Excelmale members may message me for a 25% discount link. disclaimer: myprotein referrals earn users a small discount on their next order. You will get the same opportunity.
