terrible customer service

terrible customer service. made a order of over £50 and was suppose to get free pancakes. for some reason it was taking the free pancakes off when i got to checkout even though my order was over £50. i was told the free pancakes needed to be added manually but nothing came up on screen for me to do so. i asked them to look into this which they confirmed that my order was a actually over £50 but if they took the pancakes out the order it would bring it to £45 which i didn’t want doing i wanted the pancakes i paid for and the free pancakes making it 2. therefor my order was over £50. they said they could send me free pancakes out due to my order being over £50 but only if i paid the £3.99 delivery which i refused. disgusting customer service. i spent £98 in one week with protein world and this is how they value there customers. shocking. never dealt with such poor customer service ever. never again shall i be ordering from protein world and i will be letting people know thei hassle i have had

Slender protein pancakes are delicious and they keep you full for the most of the day! But stuck to the pan and I used fry light, but will try again and mug cakes are so light and fluffy.

good products but be careful of the reviews

i like the products a lot however i tried the protein bars and dislike them i went to leave a one star review because you get ten and i dont want other people to be in the same boat as me with ten protein bars that taste rubbish and are hard and it says hidden on the review so i think just bare that in mind when reading the reviews they hide any reviews below 3 stars. I've tried there porridge and love it and their protein powder tastes goood

Hey Soph, thanks for taking the time to write us a review.

If you do think there is an issue with the bars we've sent you please send us an email at delivery@proteinworld.com with a photo of the bars and confirming the batch number (printed on the back of the bar) and we can look into this for you.

Love!! But no scoops?

I ordered 2 of the mug cakes, which I have ordered before, absolutely love them!!
But didn’t get a scoop with either of the bags? I wouldn’t mind having to order one but it came with one last time, so I had to estimate the scoops

Hi Slender blend,

Hi Slender blend,
I absolutely loved your products. I’ve been using them for over 12mths. Unfortunately the last 2 batches I bought tasted horrible. In both vanilla and chocolate. Have you changed the formula? Sorry but I can’t stand the new taste. I’ll have to switch.

GIVE ME MY REFUND!

I ordered from Protein world and I couldn't cancel my subscription box, which is very misleading, till I spoke to someone through their chat.

I sent my returned items with a filled out form inside the box, in its original packaging, and they're asking for a receipt of refund??? Who does that!? Can you confirm or not confirm that you have received my order, SO THAT I CAN GET A REFUND?!

Other companies do not ask for a receipt...

I returned my items by recorded delivery on Friday 4th December, it is now 14th December and still no refund?

I have spoken to them numerous times and you're still asking me for a receipt. Can you just see if you've received my order?

Protein World are thieves, taking advantage of people and keep money that does not belong to them.

This company ARE backwards and needs to update the way they run their company.

Hi Osay! I'm sorry for the delay in getting your refund sorted. We have asked for the receipt you got for your return postage because your return has not got back to our warehouse yet. It is stated on our Returns Policy that you need to ask your post office/courier for a receipt for your return postage for this very reason. Once we have a photo of the receipt we will be able to process your refund for you right away. I hope this clears this up. PW

I order from Protein world and ended up…with STILL NO REFUND

I order from Protein world and ended up with a subscription which is quite misleading.

I returned all the products ordered on 11th Nov and it is now 25th Nov and still no refund.

I have emailed numerous times and get fobbed off with you will get it by 25th Nov. This is disgusting as every penny counts for people in this pandemic.

Shame on you Protein World for taking advantage of people.

Very poor customer service and disgusting vegan powder

Thanks for your prompt response to my second review. I have however provided proof of postage twice and it was returned within the right timeframes as per your returns policy but you are not processing my refund and I want to know why please.

Very poor customer service and disgusting vegan chocolate protein powder. Still waiting for a return for a product returned that tasted disgusting. This is my second bad review and chaser to the company via email. Hope this helps others not to deal with this company. The cheapness of the product reflects the poor quality product and poor customer service. Extremely disappointing. AVOID!

HI Julie. Thanks for your review. I'm sorry that the Vegan Blend didn't work well for you. But if it helps, you can create a smoothie out of it to get a taste that you'd like. There are lots of recipes on our site.

Just to confirm, your return has not got back to our warehouse yet, so wouldn't have been refunded just yet. You have provided us with a screenshot of your bank statement - which isn't actually proof of postage - but on this occasion as a one off - we will use this for you. Please do bear in mind that it is stated on our Returns Policy to get a receipt for any return postage and to keep hold of this until we have got your refund sorted.

1 stone weight loss

I ordered from protein world a few months ago I managed to loose 1 stone over 4 weeks by sticking to their 4 week plan. It does definitely work but you need to stick to it and not snack throughout the day and you defiantly need to exercise. That was how it worked for me. There is a great selection of different products and I am going to be ordering again. I fell off my diet a little managed to maintain the 1 stone loss but need to get back on it I had so much more energy and felt so much healthier using the protein world products. Definitely worth a try to see if it suits you if you are looking at loosing weight. I was very strict drank plenty of water and stuck to the plan for a whole 4 weeks no cheat days.

Most of the products are disgusting

Most of the products are disgusting! I got the slender plan which to be honest was a good programme and if the products tasted nice it would be really good . The vanilla porridge was so so sweet , and the cookies and cream bars are the worst thing ever , they taste like blue cheese , but in the worst way!

Unclear pricing

Their vegan protein powder is still the best-tasting one, but they have started that late-stage capitalism process of chiselling. Shipping smaller and smaller amounts in smaller and smaller packages and being increasingly opaque about how much you are buying for what price. You now but "a month's supply". Says who? How do you know how many servings I have a day and on what days. There is no way to find out how much you are actually buying for the price you are paying. Personally I think they should legally have to say how much everything costs, per serving.

Hey Joe - Thanks so much for this feedback! We have updated our site to have a month systems - which is based on how long it will last when following our suggested use. Most people have found this to be helpful, but I do understand it could be confusing and unclear to some. To confirm, it should say under the description tab on each product page exactly how many servings and what the weight of each size is - but I can see this has been lost on our Vegan Blend product page. I'll make sure to pass this over to the right people so we can get this sorted! Thanks! PW x

Products are great but they trick you into a subscription ;even tho you unticked the box !!. And then you must pay to send it back

Products are great, but they every time you order tick the box for a monthly subscription I always untick this !!! And I had ordered a little over a week ago. I noticed the email for a reoccurring order and rang the customer service. And they said they couldn’t cancel. And I would have to pay to send it back, even tho there is no dispatch confirmation . So disappointing as the protein and bars are great and the fast service. I ve recommended these products to my clients. But customer service is just as important as the product. You should be able to tick if you want to subscribe not the other way around you have to untuck the box if you don’t !
