  • Has anyone tried the 100% Whey Chocolate GNC? Any good?

    I cancelled and refreshed the payment page twice after waiting for it to process my card. I did this before reading some comments saying they had waited an hour! which i almost did when i first went to buy. hopefully i dont get charged three times! no money was taken out and i got no emails.

    • Did you end up getting charged three times?

      • seems to be ok. i made another order last night around 12:30am after cancelling the other orders yesterday afternoon. I had no dramas and got the bank and email confirmation.

  • Checkout took about 80 minutes for me after putting in my credit card info… But it went through eventually!

  • yeh mine went through after about 20-30 mins

  • Any good deals on weight loss protein?

    • If you are looking for a supplement to assist in weight loss, I'd recommend fat burners. Oxy Elite is a decent one.

    • Weight loss protein ?? WFT ???

      Mate.. if you want to loose weight go for a run or do any low intensity exercise for as long as you can (> 30 min minimum)at least 4 times per week… and eat healthy off course (at least 5 times per day.. or every 2 hours to increase your metabolism.

      Then you can have some proteins to supplement your diet… but having proteins to loose weight ?? Its not going happen..

      I recommend unflavored proteins or organic proteins (the normal ones which taste like "banana, chocolate, vanilla or whatever.. have a lot of sugar) = very bad for you.

      All the best mate.. see you at the gym..
      or at the beach :)

      PS: As the other OZ member just said… yes.. you can use a lot of product to loose fat.. like L-CARNITINE (Aminoacid) but you need to be very careful, you don't want to put on 10kg of fat a few months later..

      I hope this helps mate and sorry for the long message… you inspired me
      Regards

      • haha no prob, im just going to supplement a meal or two a day, at my work you don't have time to have a full meal most days so just need a drink to fill me up.
        I have done this before for almost 2 months and lost 15kg but then life got in the way and I stopped. Just wanted to know what a good protein powder was that would just keep me full and not just add kg's like some seems to say.

        EDIT Also happy to get 3 or 4 kg if the price is right as ill just be getting the plain so taste should be all the same more or less

          You weren't too far off the mark when you called it weight loss protein. Protein is important when losing weight to minimise muscle loss.

          Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard is a good protein for this because it's pretty low in calories relative to the amount of protein, and the flavours are pretty palatable.

          Check the nutritional info of any you are looking at. Most Gold Standard proteins have around 120 calories per serve, where as something like BSN's Syntha 6 which is argued to be one of the nicest tasting proteins, has 200 calories per serve.

  • Tks OP. You are a legend !!

    Great Deal !! Happy days !!!

  • So if anyone is confused, the Gold Card price doesn't show until you hit checkout with the card in the cart.

    Is it just me, or has a whole heap of products been completely removed from their website, in the last hour or two?

    • +2

      Yeah all the products just vanished. Was just about to place another order.

    • +1

      Yup - looks like just gnc labeled stuff now

      • Eek. I hope they do have stock for my order!

        • I'm not surprised they removed the other branded stuff - would be making crazy losses on it.

    • +1

      Seems like a few have but there is still a few other brands left. Stuff is probably running out of stock and they're probably not replenishing, so better to remove it.

  • Just grabbed a few things at Melbourne Central, busier in there today.

    They now have a 50% off sign out the front, wasn't there yesterday (hence the crowds).

    All the good stuff is disappearing fast.. Some already gone, lots of 'homebrand' stuff though.

    Interestingly, when somebody asked, the staff member said "they are changing owners".

    • They went into administration, so possibly been bought out.

  • anyone had their order shipped yet?

    • My order has been shipped but I ordered before 12pm yesterday,
      There's a banner on their website stating
      "POTENTIAL DELAYS ON DISPATCH"
      There may be delays with dispatch due to a high volume of orders.
      GNC apologises for any inconvenience and thanks for your patience.

  • Just in time, was about to splurge on a year's supply.

    • Just received today.

  • Has anyone who didn't receive an email confirmation of their order, but had charges on their credit card, followed up today to see if the order has actually been received?

    I didn't have a chance today - will try tomorrow if I have time.

    • You should be able to see the order in "My account" if it has , mine's still sitting in "new order"

  • Did anyone order the 100% CASEIN OPTIMUM GOLD STANDARD for $36.48 and thats the gold card price (with the original being $72.95)? If so, how many lb are they? I could of sworn it was 4lb when i ordered but to double check since the link for the item has been removed they're now telling me they only ever had it in 2lb….. i swore the last batch in my cart that had an active link to the page was 4lb.. so ozbargainers help me out… anyone else out there that ordered this?

  • So who has received shipping notification? Placed my order on Monday at 4pm, i received the order received email and heard nothing since.

    • The GNC front page has a message regarding this:
      Potential Delays on Dispatch. There may be delays with dispatch due to a high volume of orders.

    • I received my order yesterday, but I ordered before I submitted this post.

    • Same here.

  • Anybody get anything showing their order has been shipped?

    • Mine is still on "New Order". I placed my order Tuesday the 19th morning.

      • Mine shows the same. I ordered on Monday morning.

  • still waiting for order to be shipped :c

  • Still waiting for my orders to be shipped.

  • Poo.. got an email saying due to high volume of sale my order item has sold out so i'll be getting a refund.

    • +1

      When did you place your order?

      • Tuesday morning. Probably my fault for asking and doubting them about the weight of my item because she asked me if i wanted to cancel my order and pretty much wanted a response straight away. Told her I'll check with hubby since i placed the order for him and i assume if i didn't mention cancelling (and they already charged me for my items) it would mean i still want them. Next day, i msg them saying i did want them just in case and asked when it will dispatch.. no response all day.. and then day after which is today i get that email.. :(

    • or is this happening to others as well and have nothing to do with that? anyone?

  • i placed 2 orders, one before I left work on monday and one before I went to bed that night. the 2nd order has been shipped out but no emails for my first order yet.

  • Is anyone still waiting for their order to be shipped? I've ordered it on the 18th (Night) and I'm still waiting for it to be dispatched. I know there's a high volume of orders but still, this is pretty poor.

    • Yep i ordered on the 18th (last monday) at 4pm.. still waiting on shipping notification.. I messaged them on thursday and got

      "We are experiencing a high volume of orders due to our current sale and therefore dispatch times are currently longer than usual.
      Once your order has been dispatched you will be notified via email.
      Thank you for your patience"

      Maybe they should have anticipated a huge response? Poor is one word, i can think of many more.

    • Yep I ordered Monday evening and still haven't received a dispatch notice. When I log into the site its still sitting there and listed as a new order with no dispatch information. CC was charged on the Monday I ordered.

  • I placed a second order, on friday just on their GNC products and that order doesnt even come up on my account even though i have an email notification of the order and my credit card has been charged for both orders i placed

  • +1

    I have emailed them again, i cant even check my account as i didnt create one at checkout as it was taking 10 minutes to load a page and the order iteself took over an hour to process. Heres hoping for a proper response

  • still waiting on my order as well. Ordered last monday night. CC been charged and have invoice.

    • still no order update damnit

      • Same here. I expected a delay on dispatch but not by this much! Thankfully i have enough protein powder at the moment to get thru

  • still waiiiiting., they didn't even bother replying to my last message asking how long before my order will be shipped. so how long before we call this a scam and get a chargeback?

    • thinking the exact same thing. scumbags probably going to hold onto the money till they get some interest then cancel orders.

    • +1

      I don't think its a scam, they probably have a small number of staff doing the dispatch of orders especially as the company is under administration/receivership. Hence big delays given the volume of orders they probably got.

      I'm just sitting tight for the moment, have protein that will run out soon but not soon enough to be impatient

      • yeah I got an email back from them saying they are still doing orders from the 18th. My friend ordered C4 the day after the deal was posted and he got his order already. I ordered a few different things so I figure they must be just trying to centralise it all before posting. The email indicated my order should be processed by end of this week.. Good thing I still have about a weeks left of c4 and a month of O.N.

  • +1

    I called them again today after being told that it would be sent out by last Friday. They told me that they were hit with thousands of orders during the sale and are struggling to get through them all. Still pretty bad to not have sent out an e-mail or something saying that there are delays, rather than just a post on their website saying that there may be a delay.

  • Welp. Just received my refund email. Ordered Optimum Nutrition products last Tuesday morning.

  • My order status has changed as per an email earlier advising me that it's on its way. My friend who ordered the same thing though got a refund email.

  • oh wow so after a week and a half they are now refunding people.. no wonder this company is going out of business

    • you would think in the current fitspo / activewear / do you even lift bro / get swole trend most businesses in this market segment would be able to survive…

  • Dammit just got an email "Hi There

    Thank you for ordering with GNC

    Your order has left us but unfortunately due to the huge success of our recent closing down sale some items on your order were out of stock

    We have therefore issued a refund back to your card for the unavailable goods and will send through a refund receipt shortly

    We sincerely apologise for the inconvenience

    If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact us"

    I only received 2 of the 10 items I ordered. Glad I got a large protein! so semi score.

  • Still nothing. Gee I wonder why they're going out of business.

  • yeah nothing here yet, ordered 4pm on 18th.. ive got 2 serves of protein left, thermogenic ran out today. Looks like i wont get what i ordered anyway due to them being out of stock

  • +1

    No email for cancellation or being shipped? Kinda wanting a refund soon after spending $150…

    Anyone in my boat?

    • I'm still waiting on my order being shipped as well. Didn't make an account because of the delay, but haven't received an email to say it's cancelled either. I can wait for my things to come though, just hope it does.

    • Yup same here, bought BSN synyha 6 protein just over $100. Haven't received any goods or emails from GNC yet.

  • They've now shut down their website completely, due to the excess orders.
    http://www.gnclivewell.com.au/landing.html

  • I made two separate orders on the 18/01/16 which was a tub of Scivation Xtend and a 2.27kg Syntha-6. I made a third order the following morning on the 19th for a 4.5kg bag of Syntha-6. I still haven't received any emails about the first 2 orders being dispatched or refunded, but on the 27th my 4.5kg bag was dispatched and I received it today. Interesting that my last order was the first to be received, but makes me feel like the first two orders will be cancelled and refunded.

    • Update: Today they shipped out my 2.27kg Syntha-6. Still waiting to see what happens with the first order I placed.

  • It's definitely not a scam Dick-Smith giftcard style, they're probably just inundated with orders at the moment (and short on staff with the long weekend). I received my ON mass gainers on Thursday, a day after I got a "Status Changed Notification" letting me know it had shipped on Wednesday.
    So probs just give it time, I definitely can't complain given how incredibly good value it was. It was also kind of cute how they scrawled my name on the side with a smiley face (but irrelevant I know, sorry).

  • Two orders. One still not received. The other was refunded. But haven't received refund yet.

  • still waiting for my order fffff

  • +1

    Just got a status changed email - order on its way! now awaiting the second email to say that some of it wont arrive and ill be refunded lol. fingers crossed thats not the case, i didnt go for the really popular items as the page was so diabolically slow i didnt want to go through the process to find it was then out of stock

  • Just received this Email today regarding the refund. I ended up getting my protein from the Melbourne Central store. But missed out on that tub of C4 prework out :(

  • got an email just then saying my order is on its way. My two friends only got half their orders shipped with no word on when their other items are arriving or refund. will report back when i get my order…

  • Merged from GNC Refunding Purchases from 50% off Deal

    I am just posting to inform those waiting for their GNC purchases to arrive that i received a refund instead of my purchase which is disappointing. I assume due to overwhelming demand that they will continue to provide refunds instead of delivering your purchased product.

    • Why not just comment in the original thread?

      Looks like refund emails went out on the 27th

      • First time posting a forum post. Didn't realise that you should go back to the original post. I didn't get an e-mail, just a confirmation one. I checked my span and junk etc.

  • Got an email saying mine was shipped out today. Managed to get c4 pre workout and quest bars

  • damn just got an email saying my order was not able to be filled and i will be getting a refund

  • +1

    It took them 2 weeks just to tell me that it's been refunded. Wow. I'm glad they're closing down. They're ridiculously over priced and they're just a plain joke.

  • +1

    "Unfortunately due to the huge success of our recent closing down sale, your order was unable to be filled due to unavailable stock.
    As we are closing down this means we are also unable to put these items on back order for you.
    We have therefore issued a refund back to your card used for the original purchase and will send through a refund receipt shortly."

    Took 2 weeks to receive this email, useless.

  • GNC CLOSSSSSEEEEEEE DOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWNNNNNNNN
    SO IF YOU BU ANYTHING ONLIME CALL YOUR BANK AND CHARGEBACK QUICKLY

  • To take more than a fortnight to report that they can't fulfill an order and process a refund is pathetic - don't need companies like that operating here so no great loss that they're going. They didn't move with the times, and this online 'sale' proves they couldn't trade in these times.

    Shame for those who will lose their jobs though.

  • got my order shipped, but only 2 protein tubs showed up. Missing 3 tubs of preworkout and 2 shakers ffs.

  • Just got an email saying that today is the last day of operations for the office at GNC. They processed my refund just then for the missing goods.

    • I have got orders 2 and 3 which were small orders and all GNC products. My first order made on the 18th still hasnt been attended to and it was a large order of 2000$ worth….

      • I would email them right now [email protected].

      • I ordered the same day as yourself, received today. I'm in the NT.

        • I have sent them numerous emails, initially they said it is being processed tomorrow yada yada but for the last few emails i have gotten no response and the order still has not arrived even though 2 orders after it (both much smaller and only GNC products) arrived. Is chargeback an easy process, this is a lot of cash for them to not even respond.

        • @lonewolf:

          If still needed there's contact info down the bottom of this page http://www.gnclivewell.com.au/landing.html

          "In the event customers have any issues relating the delivery of their final orders, please contact:"

          Two contacts listed, just go to the link, since I don't think I should put it here (actual people's email addresses).

          There's also a note at the top to say that they are closed. Some individually owned stores may still be operating, but none that I'm aware of (in Melb.).

        • @nismo:

          Thanks for that, I have emailled them both. The order was for 2053$. So a decent chunk of money. I have already reported it to the bank but havent heard back from them yet either.
