      They do run that deal of 5kg for $150 with $50 cashback as points. Just wait and see. I am waiting too. Was getting low and bought 1kg for now.

      • FiDad on 14/02/2024 - 22:05

        that deal usually for 4 kg but yeah with $50 cashback it certainly becomes under $150 for 5 kg.

      I always get the unflavoured & I can assure you it tastes nothing like Vanilla.

      Actually, without adding your own flavour (i use 3/4 unflavoured - 1/4 flav.) it tastes quite horrid, but the flavoured variants are just too sweet tasting for me hence why i like to mix.

        Awesome! I need some more complete pre workout and maybe creatine this time, on top of the usual protein order

        Are the bags any better now? I had to chuck my non stim mango preworkout as it had all gone clumpy even though it was sealed with the zip lock and then put into another zip lock bag on top of that…

        I already got my complete pre replaced once by Vanessa last time as same issue. And she sent me a couple of proper screw top containers but mannnn it was a mess trying to load pre workout into it. The powder is just so fine if you even slightly start to pour it just creates a crazy cloud lol

        • Store Repaminozcomau @ Amino Z on 23/02/2024 - 09:17

          Most of the bags are onto the better versions now thankfully. There are a few exceptions, but it looks like we have gone through most of the old bags that were causing all the headaches. The new bags landed about 6-8 weeks ago and we have been frantically making stock with the new pouches.

          If you do have any problems please reach out. I know its not ideal, but we can replace or sort something out on our end for you at our expense. I admit we have really let you and many of our customers down with the old bags.

          I know exactly what you mean with the pre workout, it is so fine. So sorry about this.

          Jay

        • dottydotdot on 23/02/2024 - 12:58

          Crazy cloud is an understatement.

          BCAA, Pre-workout, Creatine — all of them make a mushroom cloud when trying to get them out of the ziplock.

      • penguiniman on 14/02/2024 - 19:33
        +2

        Quote from them (they dispose of it)

        @Jasonissm we don't get too much returned, but if a customer reports a particular issue that we wish to investigate we will ask to ship it back (at our expense) and then we undertake testing, depending upon what the reported issue was. This is extremely rare due to the quality measures we take during the manufacture process, but we believe it's good and necessary practice to identify any potential issues immediately.

        Any product that is returned is either quarantined or disposed of after testing.

        The vast majority of protein isn't returned to us (eg. if someone doesn't like the flavour) as part of our 110% Guarantee. As I mention in my video, I believe the onus is on us to produce great quality product. So if you receive something you're unhappy with, we (generally) won't ask for it to be sent back to avoid further inconvenience.

        I hope this explains.

      Have been using VPA since 2021, last year tried Aminoz because VPA was expensive, if you’re switching from VPA, you’re gonna be disappointed, their WPI is far superior than Aminoz. Back to VPA now, only a $6 difference if you buy 3 KG.
      You can still give it a go, YMMV.

          I just feel it’s not consistent. Doesn’t mix well and doesn’t feel smooth when drinking and gets a weird taste and smell after a while.
          Also the packaging is so bad, all the packets I received, had the seal thing got broken after a couple uses.
          Sorry it’s just didn’t suit me, however Aminoz’s customer service is second to none.

I cannot stress enough how much I appreciate working with us while we overcome these challenges. Some can can take a very long time with lead times, MOQ's etc. (just look at the packages that we have struggled with for too long - and it's not from a lack of trying I promise you).

        We have now introduced our new zip locks which are being rolled out and are infinitely better than the old ones. They are the ones with the red zippers - they seal consistently and no knife/scissors are needed to open the packet (you can just pull it apart).

    • kbw on 14/02/2024 - 19:16

      Very preference based but I find AZ products taste better, their communication is better, their x bags for y with credit back deal comes around often enough to always be stocked up, and at least back when I started buying they used non soy lecithin for people who try to avoid soy. Never had a bad experience with AZ personally, have had to return 2 bags to BN so it's an easy choice for me.

      The one thing that is annoying is their fake deal spam emails, I wish they would focus more on a "the price you see on the site is the price you pay" model with occasional deals rather than having to comb through whatever current coupon is active when you want to buy something.

      • ufwpd on 14/02/2024 - 19:25

        Thank you! I agree that AZ has amazing communication and customer service which is why I originally gave them a go. I unsubscribed from their emails pretty quickly, and ended up setting up alerts on OzB instead as they seem to post here when it's actually a good deal.

        I love the whey* protein flavours AZ has, but unfortunately the vegan options are limited and I find BN's vegan protein options taste better.

          My general rule of thumb is if a "discount" comes around often then that's just the real price and anything in between is a ripoff, and I'm sure I'm not alone in that. I have sent a few people IRL your way when I see them with overpriced WPI from elsewhere, but I always warn them that you're one of those stores that runs bogus "discounts" 24/7 and not to pay full price on the website. It does reflect poorly on an otherwise completely above board reputable business IMO when you run a pricing model that would make a House manager start furiously writing down notes.

    • HonestSky on 15/02/2024 - 09:59

      i like choc mint and choc banana. the creme caramel is also good (esp if you put in overnight oats or something similar)

      i do find that (what I'll call) the "vanilla"-based flavours foam up and get really bubbly after a shake, and even if you wait for a little while there's a layer of foam(?) at the top of the drink like a perpetual latte type thing - have found this with vanilla, creme caramel, and the pandan coconut flavours.

      tbf this might just be a me problem in that i don't like the foam/bubbles. still a big fan of the products and the service these guys provide

    • KonkyDong on 15/02/2024 - 11:21

      Depends on what flavour profile you like. I sorta split it into vanilla-ish or chocolate based flavours. I'm more of a chocolate person and loved the choc mint and choc malt so far.

      Taro not the biggest fan as it's more a vanilla based. Although if you like taro/vanilla then I'm sure you'd be a fan. Currently trying to get through the bag.

      Still yet to try choc honeycomb and matcha green tea though from my previous orders.

      Edit: Just found the descriptions of each flavour at the bottom. Crap… I bought two bags of matcha which is vanilla based lol

    I've never purchased, but tried a scoop of a few flavors from a colleague.
    This stuff is way too sweet imo.

    This was the first protein powder my colleague has taken, now anytime I let him try the stuff I buy (ON, Musashi, INC) he thinks they taste awful and not sweet enough lol.

      I'd rather sweet than sand in my mouth tbh

      • Cludo on 15/02/2024 - 00:49

        I suggest you don't eat sand then

      @asa79 we scrapped PayPal a long time ago due to their fee structure, as our primary focus is in keeping prices down. We do accept Visa/MC/Amex/Afterpay/Zip/Bank Transfer.

    Any recommendations for hydrolyzed protein?

    • Store Repaminozcomau @ Amino Z on 16/02/2024 - 09:19

      @ellave I'm afraid I cannot help you there within our current range. This is something we will be exploring, but for now we are focussing on our WPI as a straight whey isolate.

    Does that stack with $10 referral?

      No you can either use the code Dragon or a Referral.
      The promo code section will only accept one code, either referral code or Dragon, not both

    How does this compare to ON whey gold standard?

      I can’t comment on the cause and effect in your partner’s case, but you do need to hydrate well whenever taking protein powders.

      I'm terribly sorry to hear about your partners experience with kidney stones @BubbleIce

      Please feel free to send through a private message with your order details and I'll ensure Vanessa will take care of you.

      FYI, shipping is free for all Amino Z branded supplements (except when only ordering samples). But you're right, in case you're only purchasing another brand and your order is under $150, then Z Points cannot be used on the shipping component.

      I am not a doctor but I find it very difficult to believe that kidney stones could have formed in two weeks.

      Unlike the above polite commenters I WILL comment on cause and effect in your partner's case - there is absolutely no chance this product caused kidney stones in your partner. There's nothing in it that could do so, even if your partner ingested the whole bag in two weeks.

          Did you read that your link? Carb restriction (causing ketosis) led to ketosis, which is associated with higher risk. That's it.

          Your missus didn't get kidney stones from two weeks of whey powder, even if she had five scoops a day.

          Plenty of bodybuilders eat the equivalent of ten scoops a day in protein for years and aren't getting kidney stones.

    Anyone tried their neopolitan ice cream flavour?

    And how does Coffs Harbour choc banana differ from their old chic banana?

    Not sure whether to try one of the above or go back to strawberry?!

      I don't know how Coffs Harbour Choc Banana compares to the old choc banana, but I like it a lot.

      The Choc Cherry is also pretty good.

      @fookos our old choc banana was, in my opinion, inferior to our new Coffs Harbour version. Of course if you order this and don't like it, we will back it with our 110% Guarantee.

    This isn't the best deal on 1kg amino Z.
    The best one I've seen was 25%off+$25% store credit. That is around $41/1kg +$14 store credit.

    • mhc on 15/02/2024 - 09:58

      Do you have the link?

      • sol3x on 15/02/2024 - 11:08

        They email you the code from time to time. They said the code is account specific and for 'loyal' customers, not available to the public.
