Avoid

Parcel still in Birmingham. Have asked for a refund for a week. Customer service now just ignoring me. Don’t want the product anymore. Shocking service.

Hello Ryan,

I’m really sorry to read about your experience — no one should have to chase a refund for a week or feel ignored.

We’ve checked your order, and unfortunately the parcel couldn’t be delivered and was returned to us by the courier. As soon as it arrived back, a full refund was issued (19th of January), so you should already have received your money back.

If anything still looks unclear on your end or you need further support, we’re absolutely here for you and ready to help.

I have not received my order

I have not received my order.
A glitch in the system meant it was delivered to the wrong address (a previous address) however my PayPal whicbinised to pay has only got my new address so not sure how their system picked that up and now I am down a large sum of money £64 with no product to show for it.
So sadly not great.
For reference Apparently this is still being investigated but I ordered on the 29th December.

Best protein in UK

Delivered next day, and always the best quality.
More expensive than the rest but its so good. Never causes issues with my stomach, and mixes so easily.

Chocolate is the best

Delivery was very quick. I bought it in the black friday sale so decent value for Money.
I went with 2 different chocolate options. Previously I had the vanilla ice cream flavour which I found sickly sweet after a few weeks.
I'd like to try other flavours but I'm commitment shy.

I don’t usually leave reviews BUT

I don’t usually leave reviews. However, from someone who has constant gut issues, this is the only whey I’ve found (so far) which is the easiest on my stomach. Even whey isolate from USN etc hits my stomach worse than ON whey, which I wouldn’t expect due to having less lactose. Mixes perfect, banana is my favourite flavour. Little expensive but can always find discounts etc.

Great flavour

Great flavour, mixes well without leaving any lumps like some other brands.
I find that going a little bit bigger on the scoop size adds to the consistency and flavour.
Morning after a heavy session and taking the drink has made a big difference, no more aches & pains.
Would recommend over other brands.

Resolved Eventually, but Poor Communication

Update : Optimum Nutrition has now responded and issued a refund. However, this response came after nearly a month of silence and only after the issue was escalated publicly.
While the refund resolves the payment, the delay in addressing a food quality and safety concern is disappointing. Customers should not have to rely on public reviews to receive basic support or clarification about whether a product is safe to consume.

I ordered Protein Isolate directly from Optimum Nutrition website uk (Order #ON272682). The product I received had visible lumps, which immediately raised concerns about moisture exposure and product safety.
I contacted customer support and was asked to share photos, which I did promptly. Since then, there has been no response at all, despite multiple follow-up emails over more than a week.
This is not just a service issue — it’s a product safety and quality concern. Until confirmed safe, the product cannot be consumed, and the lack of communication is unacceptable from such a reputed brand.
Very disappointed with the after-sales support. I expected much better accountability and professionalism.

Exemplary customer service

Can't fault the product, nor the service. Prompt delivery and an issue resolved quickly, without fuss and to a level of service that made me take note - in a good way.

Won't hesitate to buy directly from now on. A standout example of customer service and a very happy customer
