Gross, chocolate and tropical twist? You liked that?

My choice of mix has caused a huge backlash, haha...it tasted nice to me :)

I took a short cut it typing...it was actually chocolate coconut peptopro...does that improve things at all? :p

It was my cardio day and had half a scoop of nanaberry left and had that pre which explains why I didn't try it yet in more regular pre workout drink.

I've put tropical twist in vanilla pretty good!
 
One of the initial loggers, Hyde , added his Ergonine in with whey and enjoyed it.

*shrug*
I haven't been drawn to try it lol
 
Just tried NanaBerry for the first time. Tastes like Strawberry Juicy Fruit. 100X better than Blue Frost. I don't love it as much as some others here do, but it's definitely a good flavour.

Glad you enjoyed it man, I vastly prefer it to BF as well, but to each their own
 
To those who follow my media accounts, currently a giveaway on Select going on ;)

Friendly tip

Perhaps you've never tried Peptopro...even when flavored it's awful (very bitter), so any mix is an improvement ha. When I was using Peptopro, some combination of Ergonine, High Volume, and Amino IV, all made a huge improvement to my peri-wo drink(s). That said, I'd still order flavors that sounded like they'd mix together well lol.
 
I've given up on PES

2 bottles 22usd postage to Australia

I can order like 7-10 bottles from Nutraplanet and it's like 7-10usd postage

The insider sales are literally worthless to internationals. Just saying it how it is. I'll stick to spending my money with Olympus Labs.

Maybe after there is feedback I'll grab a bottle afterwards, but the postage is shocking.

I order off Nutri-verse and Nutraplanet, PHW and their postage are way less. No idea about this true rate you claim? Way off.

Anyways I thought I'd give it a shot, just 2 bottles but damm. Anyways sorry for the rant, I'm definitely unsubscribed from this thread. Enjoy all.
 
Sorry you feel that way man, but if you can find better shipping rates elsewhere we won't blame you.
PES has tried to bring the best they can to us international customers.

Best bang/buck will always be orders of higher quantity

Yeah, their shipping is unmatched... in a bad sense. And it wasnt like this for light things. Seems like they got way worse. As you mentioned, time to move on...
 
What does Olympus labs have to do with pes though ? Because it's on nutraplanet or nutri-verse and it fits your shipping it's better ? I don't get it , your mad at the shipping costs not pes , maybe someone here could have shipped it for you but you just messed that up smh.

There is something to be said for sure but I'm politely allowing people their own opinions lol.

I pay international, and still see value and spend my money at each Insider,
To each their own.

I have zero issue paying a shipping fee to get PEScience quality
 
I live in America so I don't have to worry about shipping but our presidential candidates blow. Wanna trade problems?

Devils advocate here, but if other companies can have much lower shipping prices, why can't PES? Athletix had ergonine at super cheap shipping. It comes to PES and shipping goes up. Since shipping is part of the customer experience, I think he's frustrated with that. While the product may be great, I think his issue is its not feasible for him to pay such high shipping when other companies or e-tailers can offer shipping for significantly less.

he was saying ok fine I'm buying Olympus labs from now on,in a pes thread, gtfoh with that. And, on top of that when the insider drops its about 8-10 dollars cheaper on each product which makes up for the shipping costs.
 
HardB0iled said:
If he can find the same product for the same price or cheaper elsewhere then he should buy it there. Some companies offer lower shipping cost because they are making up for it in their markup, or like Amazon, they sell so much product and generate such a profit, that they can absorb the shipping cost. When you have a single brand like PES with a limited number of products, you have to charge what you have to charge to cover your overhead costs and profit margin, like it or not. Like I said before, I think they more than make up for a shipping charge with fair pricing, quality product, great "Insider" deals and free promo product.

But, if they advertise it as 'true shipping', they shouldn't increase shipping to cover overhead and margin, right?

I think what he was trying to say is how can it be true shipping when another company or place can ship the same product for significantly cheaper? Again, devils advocate. I have no issue with PES and don't know about their international shipping vs anyone else. Also don't use Nutriverse or Planet. I've had nothing but experience with PES and their reps. Not trying to be a jerkapottamus

International shipping on PES Insiders to Canada stings, especially on protein. I can only imagine the cost that is quoted for Australia if it can cost 70 dollars to Canada.

I usually place large orders on insiders to justify the shipping costs but more often that not the shipping cancels out the insider pricing.

Because they've been doing free shipping for orders over 200usd including heavy items.

Americans wouldn't understand, because you dont get $200+ quotes to ship a few tubs of protein. We have to save money where ever we can, including our weak dollar. I'm not sure how they do it, but my point is if they can I am sure PES could.

That's all, reps have always been helpful from PES. Just compared to other companies they don't care much for internationals, or can't help us. That's all good :)

One of my orders from OL was posted to me in 2 boxes, one which was 12lbs, free. Let me tell you if I had to pay 12lbs postage from PES it'd be around $150usd. Roughly $210aud.
All I'm saying, there comes a point where you gotta put your money to better use and no offence I have plenty of PES products but OL make mad products too. I'd just rather have $210 in extra product than pay shipping fees. Absolutely no insult to PES, I would buy if the postage wasn't insane.

As someone else mentioned above, one of the products use to have flat rate and since moving to PES postage is 3-4x more expensive. Fair enough, some websites are always going to have better postage contract's.

I apologise for the confusion, and hopefully I explained why I mentioned OL. If it was another company, I would of mentioned them otherwise. :)
 
379 pages and the thread just became controversial...over shipping?

I think what PES is going to say is that they are doing the best they can and if someone is in a situation where they can do better, they understand and can't fault anyone. There is no magic wand at work.
 
Happy to not have these shipping problems. I feel bad for people outside the U.S.
 
Lol I'm in Australia and I have only ordered off an insider once. Worked out a couple dollars more than purchasing domestic but at least I got the new flavors of select. Australia has been stuck with Chocolate and Snickerdoodle for years so it was worth it.
Ever since I've just ordered off PHW supps as they flat rate ship at $20 so 2 tubs of select work out a couple dollars cheaper and I can choose from any flavors.
Have to do a lot of fishing around but you can find 'reasonable shipping' on most products.
 
Suck it Trebek!

good to hear this. it really sucks and i also think flush fintess select is a higher % of whey than the MPI in US Select. the snickerdoodle turned into soup when i went to make proats with it. you can't add lots of water like the US one, i did it with my White choc mint same amount of water and it was all creamy and thick. it's all a money game.

on the positive side, i now enjoy Alphamine Advanced more than the yohimbie version as a pre workout alternative
 
Get those last second orders in! The joints and pains are begging you to! :)

That's weird, I always have a snickerdoodle and chocolate on deck from local distributors whenever they do % off sales. Haven't tried a US version of Snickerdoodle or Choc so maybe I'm missing out although I don't do proats.

We are working on Australian retailers carrying more flavours of Select and should have an update on that shortly.

If you want me to keep you in the loop just send me a message or an email. :)

I have clarified this with you before lol.

Australian Select is exactly the same blend as our US product. It is literally the exact same powder in tubs with a different label.

I swear that anyone who lives internationally automatically suspects their product is different lol. It is like an international placebo effect. :)
 
Noticing a few folk here moaning about the International shipping...

I just got my order today, within 7 days of ordering. Also received a 7 serving tub sampling of snickerdoodle Select protein for free. The last 3 Insiders i've always saved money in the long run ordering from PES.com instead of UK sites. no issues here!

Keep in mind currency conversion rates too, you might even save on shipping with the GBP. 2 years ago you wouldn't hear a peep from me since the USD was a pile o ****e, but todays a different story. Haven't received any samples from an insider, I assume to cut price on international shipping weight rates.

Our insider deals are usually quite a bit below suggested retail price. So it's always best to stock up while it's going down. Keep an eye out I'm sure places will start offering some deals soon.

I got 2 bottles on the insider. If the product works good for me, then I will most definitely order some more. Hopefully vendors in Europe will stock it. Save some shipping time. :)
