Optimum Nutrition was 5 stars order…

Optimum Nutrition was 5 stars order tracked, arrived when said and correct, but the delivery firm was awful, left package outside front door in full view of passers by, when behind back gate was stated as drop of place, lucky to be still there when I returned, won't be ordering again as not worth hassle if it went missing. Change your delivery firm and will be used again.

Hello Warren,

Thank you for sharing your experience, and we’re truly sorry about the way your parcel was delivered.

When we provide the tracking link, the courier’s app sometimes restricts delivery to safe places or neighbours — many customers prefer this option, but in your case it clearly didn’t work as intended. We’re glad the package was still there, and we’ll escalate this with the courier so it doesn’t happen again.

We're always here for you when you need assistance:)

Hi Corrado,

I’m really sorry you had to go through all of that.

Unfortunately, our phone line is not currently in use, and it looks like there was a technical issue with the email inbox you tried to reach. That problem has now been fixed, but it absolutely should not have happened in the first place.

We’re here for you if you ever need support again — you can always reach us directly through customer support.

Hands down the best protein I have ever had. The flavor is incredible and it mixes perfectly without any clumping. I’ve finally found my go-to supplement and will definitely be purchasing again. Huge thanks to the team for a top-tier product!

Best tasting protein powder

I’ve tried a few different protein powders but this is without doubt the best tasting one, might be a little bit pricey but more than makes up for it with the unreal taste, Delivery was super quick as well, will definitely be using these from now on.

I didn’t receive the product and can’t contact ON at all. Tried several times, trough phone calls, email, instagram, can’t manage to get a reply.
Had to open a regou d request with my bank!

The tracking id provided for DPD is an old id, to a delivery done in Nov-25. My order was placed in 08 April-26. DPD said there is nothing they can do.

I haven’t had an update since the first email confirming the order.
Had to buy the same product from Amazon to manage to get the product, it arrived the same day.

Now I’m waiting on the bank analysis to get my money back, with all evidence provided that I’ve tried contact with ON multiple times.

The product and ON service was good but the delivery wasn’t the best. The 2 protein tubs were simply put in a cardboard box with no protection. They arrived squashed and dented but luckily there was no leakages

Poor product quality, Shaker Bottle logos came off affter two handwashes in cold water...Spend your money elsewhere. Tried to support them as a brand but don't bother.

Bought a couple of their shaker bottles. After a couple of cold hand washes (not dishwasher), the logos on the side started coming off. Should've just bought no brand versions and saved me 80% of what I spent. If I had known their products were of such poor quality, I could've spent much less on generic no-brand shaker bottles. Tried to support them as a brand but that's my fault...

When they finally did get back to me, they said they couldn't help me because i didn't purchase from their website and asked me to contact their third party complaints team to provide them with all these details?!

-Place of purchase
-Date of purchase
-Product name
-Batch number and time stamp (preferably photo of the batch)
-Expiration date
-Summary of complaint
-Photo of the complaint

It's a lot of work to justify why their bottle is poorly made. So in short, no I won't be spending more time chasing nothing and just won't be purchasing from them again.

Spend your hard earned money elsewhere.

Hi Drew,

We’re really sorry to hear about your experience — that’s genuinely frustrating, and we completely understand why you’re disappointed.

Regarding the support process: because the purchase wasn’t made through our website, we’re required to follow a specific procedure so our quality team can properly investigate. We know it can feel like a lot to provide, and we’re sorry it came across as extra work on your end.

Your feedback is absolutely valid, and we’ll use it to improve both our product quality and the way we handle cases like this.

Wishing you a wonderful day ahead.
