    Use http://musclesupermarket.com/

    It's a price comparison site for supplements, just whack in the products you are looking for, and see who has the best deal.

    Guys, read the OPs original question.

    a) You won't get Gaspari and ON products from MyProtein.

    b) MyProtein have the worst customer service out of all of the bulk providers in the UK. If you're going to not go with the original choice of brands, I would recommend against MyProtein. Don't just take my word for it, have a search around the internet, particularly on UK based strength\muscle forums. You may find the odd positive comment, and positive reviews from people who rarely order, but people who have been regulars for long periods have very little good to say about these guys.

    discountsupplements.co.uk it may not appear cheap at first, but when you are on the mailing list they constantly send 13% off codes at least once per month, which is great! Ordered many times and never had any issues!

    I just go to Holland and Barrett, they often have buy one get one half price or buy one get one for a penny! You just have to wait for the promotions which are usually quite regularly!

    ON are one of the more expensive brands so you won't find them anywhere for really cheap, their products are all overpriced IMO.

    You could find cheaper and products of same quality at the following places.

    http://www.theproteinworks.com/

    http://www.bulkpowders.co.uk/

    I use Proteinworks a lot, great range of flavours and good quality whey. Most transparent as well. Not use Myprotein in a while but always see threads on forums mocking them and their customer service.

    If you decide to order from any of the above I got a code you can use to get free whey. Either way good luck with your search.

    This.

    OP: If you are after quality products but without the big price tags go for BulkPowders. If, however, you still want to pay for the big brands and their overpriced protein then there are plenty of online suppliers of ON and Gaspari, eg monstersupplements and affordablesupplements.

    I use MyProtein quite a lot and have never had a problem - but they use MyHermes delivery service, at least where I am, and as that runs on individual couriers with no formal training and really ****ty pay, service probably varies a LOT depending on where you live.

    Anyway, that doesn't matter because they don't sell anything but their own brands :D

    I would avoid Holland and Barrett because usually their products are a. overpriced or b. not very high quality.

    That is why I mentioned 'reasonable' price . I know ON is expensive. Since the price varies a lot from place to place I wanted to know which is the best place to get it.

    Holland and Barrett are horrible. They sell poor products so when they go on sale you think you're getting a good deal. Compare to the more expensive brands and you will see that to get the same amount of supplement from 1 quality tablet, you would have to take more than double of the Holland and Barrett brand. In the end, it would cost you more and you would have to take more to equal a quality brand.

    I get my own from Sainsbury's ( a bit weird I know :D ) but it happens that they sell my favourite protein powder Sci-mx there. I have been advised not to get it from Holland and barret (for the reasons already said) expensive and not too good quality. I've heard of myprotein.co.uk because of the prices but I have never bought there. Keeping an eye on this list, because I would be interested on checking other sources that might work out cheaper in the long run.

    Which ON product? I know GNC sells it, but they don't sell the one I want. I've used www.dolphinfitness.co.uk and www.powerbody.co.uk and they're both pretty good.

    I get dymatize from dolphin (wanted a protein powder with stevia sweetener), and I get oh yeah victory bars and metragenix protein bars from power body, the oh yeah bars are the best thing I've ever tasted. Seriously, better than chocoalte, chips, burgers, everything!
