Any views on what you think the best sites for protein and other supplement prices are?

Hi Mitch

If you're looking for a specific product, you may be best to just Google it along with the word "sale" or "best price". As sometimes sites have sales on specific products / flavours, etc based upon their stock levels or new versions of the product coming out, etc.

Outside of these specific bargains, prices don't actually very as much as they used to. It may not be worth surfing the web for a long time to save a few pennies. If you make $5.00 (or whatever currency) per hour at your job and you spend 30 minutes to save $2.00 then you just gave yourself a paycut of $1.00 per hour!

Some sites have "like-for-like" price matching also but the product has to be in stock at both sites and the conditions have to be the same. For instance, sometimes you find a great bargain and then you find out that one company charges for delivery and the other one delivers for free.

Also, some sites don't have very good customer service and take a long time to deliver or they take your order for a product but then try to sell you a product that is similar to the one that you originally ordered but never actually have the product that you first ordered in stock...so they're just trying sell you the product "they" want to sell you and not the one you want!

I have worked with several supplement companies and distributors so I may be a bit biased but Tropicana Health & Fitness is excellent in the UK. I don't know enough about the on-line supplement scene in other countries to give you accurate feedback if you live outside the UK. I usually check out some GNCs, Popeye's and Vitamin World shops when I visit North America just to keep current with what they're stocking but I don't order stuff on line - even in the UK.

Thanks for the info Mark!
