Protein Factory?

[rocketscientist]

They still any good? TP has me waiting 2 weeks for the shipment.... UGH! It's like I have to order on the same day that I get my shipment, and that's 10lbs at a time...

Yes, they're good. I've been using them for 5 years now and only had delayed shipment once, some 4 years ago (early 2002 or so). Otherwise I always got my orders within a week or a little more (considering I use ground shipping). My last order (custom mix) was shipped next day. I don't know if they have special mix days (I ordered Monday), but if so I never noticed. And you can always call them up and ask or send them an email.

Thanks for responding!

Besides the shipping, how is the quality of the product? Ever noticed something wrong? Some people are bashing them mercilessly, and that just might be all BS...

Yeah, for that reason, I always place a custom order with them about two weeks before I run out of powder. Not great customer service, but I tolerate it due to the great prices they offer and the option to customer blend.

I went through them and TP a couple of times. Maybe Matt will get something going for protein on his custom mix link at CNW. That would be cool.

Never found anything bad with them, so I don't know what this is about. I can really just go from my experience and I certainly wouldn't order from them if I found anything wrong.

The added flavors might not be the best, but I can't really judge since I always take the cheapest flavoring (if I take flavored powders) and rather spend the money on good protein. And I prefer moderate flavoring since I mix in the protein with other stuff and can always add flavors and sweeteners if I wish.

And you get the powder in bags (double bagged), but other places probably do the same thing.

Just like I thought... There's people who will bash any and every thing. I'll order from them myself and tell you guys about it...

I haven't used them in over a year, but I've always had good luck with them.
Just expect up to a week to receive your order, unless their shipping has changed.

Ive used them as well for protein, and thought highly of the product. They get bashed on another board cause their representative was a moron.

Dunno, I mostly use TP now for everything. they were always good to me though.

I've used them a bunch throughout the years. Haven't had any problems.
Now I mainly use them to get the HRS, or Olig Carbs. Their Torque Formula is pretty good when flavored with Pink Lemonade, but it's fairly expensive. When I just need protein I use TP because it's a little cheaper, and supposedly they're getting some new carb powders in the future.
