    And for anyone who might be new to iHerb...please use my code LOC112 for a discount.

    I get a cut that I use towards my protein powder and natural soaps, and if you sign up for Rewards and pass your code around you can do the same!

    Don't go too crazy as there is a pretty low limit in terms of the number of pounds they ship for free
    Still, better than nothing!

    The limit is 4 lbs per package...what I would do is keep the orders under the 4 lb limit so you benefit from the free shipping. If you're buying a bunch of stuff, there are additional discounts that kick in, so it may work out the same or even cheaper to just buy a bunch of stuff/larger containers and ship by DHL.

    I don't know why these $13.68 bother me so much, but strangely it does. Maybe because I started to buy at around $40 or so?

    Do they have comparable shipping rates? Their site seems to be down.

    It's bodybuilding.com. I usually order 4x 5lbs once a year or so. They have a lot more variety too, including the "natural" version of it for the wife.

    I think shipping with both of them only makes sense for "bulk" orders with these heavy 5lbs buckets...

    Before you ask: the whey is the same, natural seems with honey and sugar instead of sweetener. And we eat our whey in a milk/oatmeal every morning... that's why we don't need Franco's Gym

    Compare the shipping and I think you'll be very surprised! Load up both carts, go through the checkout process and see which works out cheaper! iHerb also has non-advertised discounts that kick in when you spend a certain amount.

    I believe I did on my last order, but will do so again in a few months down the road and report back. Ordered from both places in the past and usually do my homework...
