I have bought two myprotein impact whey protein 2.5kg. Below the myprotein brand logo, there is a sentence, fuel your ambition. One of them is grey coloured, the other one is blue coloures. The one with blue coloured is also having poorer packaging material and the back of them are also different. Which one is fake? Or is it new packaging. But I felt that the blue coloured one is fake. Here is the link to the photos. Photos of package

It could be simply because of change in packaging. But anyway, only buy from reputable online distributors to avoid this situation in the future, think the difference in price shouldnt be that significant.

And if it is that significant, something must be wrong there brows.gif

U can refer to this thread.
https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/3980878

GNC is almost a complete rip off. U gotta buy in bulk to enjoy discounts to make the price on par with other retailers.

Musclemania is highly recommended. Found more choices and it's cheaper if u're buying single unit.

U may correct me if I'm proven to be incorrect though.

If most retailers are selling at +-5% of a price, then i think u need not worry about the authenticity of the products. But I have not personally bought online before, i walked in to GNC (that's why i know), Musclemania & whypaymore.

Still doing my calculations to see if it is viable and also whether able to offer it at lower price than what we can get.

Weak & fluctuating ccy, especially against GBP, is also a big risk factor sweat.gif

In the meantime u might wanna order it online lor, not much hassle actually, just need a credit card and make sure ur bank is not ripping u off with their selling rates. thumbsup.gif

Kinda hard to offer cheaper than retailer, especially with MYR fluctuating. I'm still trying to figure out a win-win situation haha hmm.gif

It's almost hassle free la actually. Just order, then prepare to receive within 15days.

Last time I bought 5kg of impact whey at less than Rm300 after conversion, including postage.

Any reason to buy product from MyProtein?

I found out it provide less blend of other stuff and simply give the genuine nutrient you want. Is it true? Wanted to know your opinion, and tell me where to purchase. Going for online ship internationally is expensive. ><

Count me in if u guys are buying. Dun mind sharing. Gotta be careful though, kastam detained the items i bought from myprotein. Need declaration and endorsement from the food unit to release the item. Preferably try to buy under rm400 including shipping cost to avoid tax.

They will ask you to go to relevant kementerian for endorsement. Protein should be fine since they know what is it. Mine got stuck because of creatine.
