May I know why you bought from UK instead of local? Does it cheaper? I check at iherb and BB website, the shipping is expensive.

coz its cheaper if you use discount code or when theres sales and i dont have to deal with fake products and such.

Ah, I'll take a look at their website later. Usually I ordered locally; Eji, BMF. Most of self import cost me more than locally in the chart, or maybe my kungfu is not good enough. Haha... I'd been looking forward to try Myprotein since I found this Reddit lab test:

Let's see, 2.5kg x 3 pouch:

Items (3)£103.47
Delivery£0.99
Promotions-£36.21
MP Points66
Promotions Applied
SUPERCHARGED PAYDAY DEALS: your 35% off everything

Google rate is MYR 385.80, for 7.5kg of protein. Even a 5kg from MMC to Kuching cost me about RM 430, roughly.

Tempting but again, is there any tax and will the item detain by custom? I received a warning for fish oil that I bought from iHerb once. Then again ordered same fish oil from eBay, reach home last time. Ordered few items from iHerb to Miri, no problemo. Bought few times of supplements from bodybuilding.com shipped to Kuching and Miri but no issue.

Now... I'm confused.

If your total is below RM500 technically custom cannot tax u for gst. So i usually keep my orders below that. But about detaining, you may refer to my post on this thread and other ppls experience. I think really depend custom mood that day if they want to detain or not. It's a mystery. I'm tempted to try again, if kena detained again then maybe I have to say goodbye to MP.

Ah, no wonder my bicycles got detained. I'm not worried of the detain but more worried of the warning letter for supplement. Bought 7 bicycles from Italy, 2 sent to doorstep, and 5 need to self collect with 4 taxed and 1 isn't. Random and luck. laugh.gif

I think those pill form stuff they might be iffy about. I wished they were more clear about why they are detaining or why are they issuing warning letter in more detail than just issuing that to you simply because. If you want to be on the safe side, just order protein alone. You can just tell them is milk for gym ppl if you kena detained lol which is what I told them in layman's term coz they didn't seem to understand me first time round.  They probably thought it was steroids powder or something.

Perinatal fish oil for my wife. The thing is:

1) Ordered from iHerb to Kuching address; sending in tracking but item hasn't arrived after 30 days. Contacted iHerb, and they offer refund. I was like "fine then."
2) Since I really want it, ordered again from eBay. Time passed by, item arrived at Kuching.
3) Few weeks later, wife told me got parcel and warning letter for importing supplements without licence. Can go to jail or fine bla bla. A letter for last warning.
4) I keep repeat ordering things like green tea capsule, caffeine tablet, a shaker, even a deodorant from iHerb, but goes to Miri.

A new definition of buy 1 free 1. tongue.gif But my "bodybuilding" supplement never got any issue despite the "Bodybuilding.com" printed at the box. I guess Miri mail center aren't "busy body" like Kuching mail center.

Anyway As for Myprotein UK, why does the shipping to Malaysia sometimes GBP 0.99 (for standard delivery) then sometimes GBP 14.99 (tracked delivery). No other option, but randomly between these two? The shipping fees auto calculated and no option to change shipping.

A glitch from them or a glitch caused by my shitty connection?

Iherb is on pharmacy blacklist so don't bother buying.

Ah... No wonder. Any reason why? The licence to import or there's a case last time?

My shipping cost was £14.99. Dont think there was ever a £0.99 delivery fee.

So, placed an order and for weird reason I paid 0.99 for delivery which I define as untracked shipping. Hopefully luck is on my side this time. I really hope these 2.5kg x3 muscle juice doesn't taste bad just like some batch. I really hope the custom doesn't detain my parcel because I don't want my wife to collect the parcel for me again. And I really hope that the parcel doesn't lost since it's not tracked in the MyProtein account.

Holla! Delivered at my Kuching address this afternoon. According to my wife, got some custom stamp on the box. Likely custom at Kuching doesn't have issue since the parcel is cleared by custom at KL. Hopefully didn't receive any love letter like last time.

so far i've only tried chocolate mint, chocolate smooth and lemon cheesecake. Lemon cheesecake was @ss...wanted to puke a few times. Luckily I bought the sample pack only. Chocolate mint, I do like it but i got the 5kg bag and after drinking 3kg++ the taste does get quite tiring, that's why Im purchasing smaller bags but diff flavours this time to alternate. Personally I'm not a huge chocolate drink fan so if you enjoy chocolate I think u might like this especially if mixed with chocolate milk ice blended, its like a treat.

Almost order the funky flavor last time but again, even taste review is Googleable nowadays.

Hopefully taste review doesn't disappointed me.

7.5kg (2.5 x 3) Impact Whey Protein (concentrate)
=RM 396.94 (GBP 68.25) shipped (GBP 0.99 shipping to Kuching)

4.5kg Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard (isolate)
=RM 373.00 shipped (Rm14 shipping to Kuching)

RM 23.94 difference. Another 2.5kg of ON will cost me RM 202.10 including shipping.

The question one need to consider:
1. Custom and shipping hassle
2. Concentrate vs isolate
3. Luck on batch and taste
4. The risk of bloated, upset stomach and weird side effect

Hopefully again luck is on my side again for point 3 and 4.

Just found this:

Cheaper than getting one from UK. Still got stock left at home but tempted to add more stock at home.
