I worked the #'s and after the shipping and the opportunity cost of the 2 week shipping problems, there is not really much of a deal compared to other online retailers or am I missing something?
 
Yea, what is it you're actually trying to say? If you something constructive to add then by all means to it but this is just a wasted thread, so far. I'm closing it if something isn't added soon in the form of an issue and possible solution those issues.
 
I think ATW is a good company, good products and good prices. Yes they are having a few delivery issues but I have seen that with other board sponsors, I am sure they will pull out of it and all will be fine again.

Sorry, I just wanted to see responses of other ATW customers.I like to compare products with different places to find the best value. I have read threads stating how great ATW is by there prices compared too others and I read on the ATW site about why they offer such a cheaper price on there products than do others.
" Why are All The WheyTM Protein Powders sold so inexpensively?
A All The WheyTM does not use expensive distribution channels to get our products to you. We ship direct, and pass the savings to you.

All The WheyTM does not conduct expensive advertising campaigns to promote what is regarded as the most complete protein source on earth. Our product sells itself, and you benefit from what we save on promotion and endorsement costs.

Finally, we spend our dollars on production and quality assurance to bring you the best value in the highest quality protein available.
"

I was just curious to see what the fuss is about when you can easily find comparable or cheaper prices after all the added factors. Sorry if this thread was a burden but I'm sure it is not going to cause ATW customers or potential customers to reconsider.
 
When i order from ATW,i expect my order to take two weeks to be delivered,and they have been averaging 10 days.Not bad at all considering i live on the west coast,and the money i save.

I just placed an order for 15 pounds of blend,(grrr,Matt make the cin bun available in Opti Blend dammit!:frustrate )
4 pounds of Micellar,and my order shipped in two days.


So,my advice when ordering from them is to just consider a two week delivery time.Less frustration for you,and your wallet:thumbsup:

I think thats the mindframe you need to have if ordering from them. Place your order 2-3 weeks ahead of time and you won't be dissapointed by shipping times. Only thing that bothers me is that you email them it takes sometimes days to get back to you and you call them and half the time you can't get through. I think they are better for 10+lbs then your 5lb orders.
 
use the AM shipping code. that gets it out the door quicker.
 
I've ordered twice so far,it got to me in about 3 days.Pretty fast I'd say,maybe it's because I live in Ohio and they are in the next state.

If you use a discount code,it's a pretty good deal,plus ATW usually gives you something free stuff when you order.

My last order,they forgot to throw the free bottle of BCAAs in the order box,I just shot Big Matt an E-mail and within a few days I recieved an envelope with not 1 but 3 BCAA bottles in it,what more could you want,they did'nt have to do that,but they did.

2 weeks? I am going over some recent orders.....some have a 24 hour turn around....i.e. - ordered Oct 31st and out the door Nov. 1st....doesn't get much quicker than that

....if you have an issue in the future just shoot me an e-mail...

You may be able to find comparable or cheaper prices...but they are few and far between....PLUS....what kind of product are you getting? It is usually for a far inferior product in terms of quality or the serving size is far larger and you get less protein per serving, etc. etc. That is what the fuss is about....Cheaper prices, superior quality.

I am reminded of a classic line from the movie Tommy Boy:

Tommy: Let's think about this for a sec, Ted, why would somebody put a guarantee on a box? Hmmm, very interesting.
Ted Nelson, Customer: Go on, I'm listening.
Tommy: Here's the way I see it, Ted. guy puts a fancy guarantee on a box 'cause he wants you to fell all warm and toasty inside.
Ted Nelson, Customer: Yeah, makes a man feel good.
Tommy: 'Course it does. Why shouldn't it? Ya figure you put that little box under your pillow at night, the Guarantee Fairy might come by and leave a quarter, am I right, Ted?
Ted Nelson, Customer: What's your point?
Tommy: The point is, how do you know the fairy isn't a crazy glue sniffer? "Building model airplanes" says the little fairy, well, we're not buying it. He sneaks into your house once, that's all it takes. The next thing you know, there's money missing off the dresser and your daughter's knocked up, I seen it a hundred times.
Ted Nelson, Customer: But why do they put a guarantee on the box?
Tommy: Because they know all they solda ya was a guaranteed piece of ****. That's all it is, isn't it? Hey, if you want me to take a dump in a box and mark it guaranteed, I will. I got spare time. But for now, for your customer's sake, for your daughter's sake, ya might wanna think about buying a quality product from Invalid Link Removed.
Ted Nelson, Customer: [pause] Okay, I'll buy from you.
 
A smart salesman would of hyperlinked ATW to the website *wink* brb, that reminded me I need to guarentee a toilet.

I can give you a tip:

I just happen to be home during the day today and I'm surfing a little......but I am in the ATW office at night and on Saturday....I respond to all my e-mail by the next day if not the same day....unless it gets to my in box Saturday night...then I reply by Monday night......but I am available by phone during the posted hours in my signature!!! SO CALL ME! I'm here for you! If you have a problem I am the squeeky wheel that gets the attention of mgmt. for you! Size of the order doesn't matter. I value all of MY customers!

Sounds good. I was not ever trying to just comment on saying why would anyone order from here when theres other comparable places. I wanted to know the reasons to why your product was better than the others and why others would rather buy from you. Also I am new to the boards and when I found your forum, a lot of the threads and posts refered to the shipping problems, so I had to ask.
 
FYI - we have been having a 24 - 48 hour turnaround on shipping! :jaw: I've been seeing tracking numbers showing up the next day after the order comes in!:goodpost:

All I have to sayis that you can't beat their pricing. Even with shipping it is way cheaper for me to buy from them than my local store. Locally here 10lbs on ON cost is about $80 in canada. So i'll get 50lbs for $220 shipped from ATW. Thats $180 that i'll save on 50lbs. Well actually i guess 53lbs.
