2 X ON 100% Whey 5Lb would work out cheaper at sportstrition.....better deal IMO :nod:

[greyghost]

Hennie, not a lot of difference between you and Sportstrition - surely you'd want the sale?

[Hennie]

Yup, guess that's true :pfft:

she mentioned sportstrition and I thought as we are not advertising this month let me not take the unbiased focus away from them to try and get a sale.

Still saying if I had to buy from sportstrition and I had to choose between 2 x ON 5lb or one Scivation 10Lb I would go for ON 5Lb.

[laurasaur]

I just love scivation thats why I recommended it

LOL. It's supplement site price wars on NZBB.

Like i have said before, we will beat any and every price in NZ.

At the moment at Shotgun we are doing Inner Armour 10 pound tubs for $ 147 and that's with free shipping anywhere in NZ, even rural delivery addresses. And we ship the day the order gets placed.

We never let people place orders online if we don't have the item in stock.

If it says it is in stock then it is.

So our price works out to be. $ 32.30 a KG.

But If i didn't run a site and had to choose one to use it would be Hennie.

Can you enlighten me and perhaps anyone else the difference between QUAD and WHEY - apart from the container size. QUAD is a good price but I struggled with the actual difference so I left it.

It should never be a price war (though the expectation is it'll drive the price down - then no-one wins). We all understand the costs involved with importing and to one of the fartherest reaches of the populated world. We always suffer due to location and population.

If the price is right and the products good it'll stand on its own and you'll get the business. Whey powder is such a basic commodity for bb'ers we should get a good deal down here based on volumne.

Imagine the price we'd get if all the importers got together and brought in just one brand.

[Hennie]

QUAD is a blend of 4 proteins, not a Whey only blend.

Not dissing it ,juts saying it is not a Whey.

[Flex]

Can you enlighten me and perhaps anyone else the difference between QUAD and WHEY - apart from the container size. QUAD is a good price but I struggled with the actual difference so I left it.

IA Quad is Four (Quad) proteins - whey concentrate, isolate, egg and micellar casein, plus carbs creatine etc and 69%. (breakdown looks almost identical to the NZ made Leppin Pro4 protein that has been around for 5 or 6 years now).

IA Whey is pure whey concentrate and a sprinkling of isolate and around >75ish% protein.

5.5kgs for $125 who can beat that?

good deal, but its a mass gainer....

If you want a Dymatize mass gainer, Grants also for a higher protein version than that one. Heaps Better, virtually a complete rip off of True mass but half the price. Im using it at the moment, its good shit.

[Ordy]

Just remember, if you buy cheap you get cheap.

If you are going from a more expensive quality protein to a really cheap one because you want to save money. Your just going to end up throwing it away anyway.

Dude that's not a good deal for protein - you're paying $125 for 800g of protein and 16g of creatine - and 4kg of carbs including over 600g of sugars.

If you want to use a mass gainer there are much better products on the market than that - i.e. Cytosport Cytogainer - 6lb 18 serves - 54g protein (100% Whey Protein concentrate) = 972g of protein per tub - plus 3g creatine per serve and 2g glutamine, plus vits and mins, and no added simple sugars. rrp $115ish. Still an expensive way of getting protein but cheaper and better than dymatize super fat gainer. You'd have to be a major hardgaining 50kg flyweight or serious juice boy to need to eat over 1200 cals per meal.

[tooeasy]

Cheapest found in Christchurch is Whey Protein concentrate 80% - $30/kg unflavoured or $45/kg flavoured.

Also Isolate and egg white powder unflavoured @ $35/kg

[boostinggtir]

Yea I shouldn't be comparing to straight protein to mass gainer, thanks for the advice flex. 1200cals per serve man that's heavy.

dude,

appreciate the effort but your price comes to $50.70 per kilo. As per my previous post these guys.................

Company - Brand - per Kilo

Xtreme Nutrition - Dymatize - 33.03

Elite Nutrition - PVL Whey Maxx (10lb) - 41.17

Nutratech - Optimum Gold - 45.35

Shotgun Supplements - Inner Armour Super Quad 5 - 46.69

BodyBuilding.com - Optimum Gold (2 x 10lb incl freight) - 48.00

Sportsfuel - Inner Armour Whey 5 - 48.01

Shotgun Supplements - Optimum Gold - 48.01

Punch Supplements - Balance 100% Whey - 49.53

Have bought from that shop in the past for emergencies. Still can't figure out (without deep and meaningful thinking) why such a basic commodity has to be so expensive.

Make it a loss leader and do the "Michael Hill" upsell to get sales on the better profit products and form a relationship with the customer to get future sales.

Whey protein concentrate is not a basic commodity. Milk and Bread are examples of a basic commodity.

You'd go out of business pretty quick running protein as a loss leader. How do you expect to form a relationship if all the customers are after is the lowest price? As soon as the retailer puts the price up or someone else does it cheaper the customer is off looking somewhere else. If someone like yourself has enough time to go through all the online retailers and calculate the price per kilo on all of the different whey proteins (you really should have spent more time factoring in the percentage of protein as well), what kind of relationship have you formed with your current retailer. Have you stuck with the one store even though other stores are cheaper?
