Tanya info on "Achieve"

Ok gang, I give up.  I love the AchievOne coffee protein drinks, but I just think the price is insane.  My last order, I got 2 cases and with the shipping it cost me $76 - that's more than $3 each.  They're all gone, so I've been shopping around the internet to see what prices and shipping charges are from different selllers.  Ok, so I found the site that offers "free shipping' - yeah, and the AchievOne is $39.99 a case.  I then thought I found a great deal on a site that offers "25% off if you order at least 5 cases" (but they're shipped 2 cases in a box so you have to order 6)  I entered my order for 6 cases, and yes, it's a good price for the goods, but the shipping would have been $86 - that was the cheapest, slowest shipping.  I love the drinks, but I'm not a money machine . . . . I'll live without them at that price. (also, wonder why they use those glass bottles - they're heavy!)

The best thing would be to try to get someone local to carry them.  I swear we would buy them out.  I tried BJ's and Sam's.  Also a nutural foods store (Louie's I think) in scarborough.  I wonder if each GNC store is owned individually?  I wonder if they would consider stocking them? I don't know of any smaller stores around here, but AXIS natural foods.  But it isn't a natural product, so I doubt they would stock it. Anyone travel to Nashua, NH?  Might be worth a stop by if anyone drives by there.  Nashua Nutrition sells them for $28.95 a case, but for pick up only.  I just noticed they have a thing like GNC for 10% off.  $20 bucks for 10% off for the whole year.   2 1/2 hours from here, so same in gas as shipping.  I wonder if all of us that wanted some got together if we could place an order right with the distributor?  I am gonna call them again tomorrow and talk to someone else.  The lady I spoke with before gave me names of places she said had some and they had never heard of it before.

You know I would try gourmet deli style shops for that sort of store. Coffee shops??

hello everyone.. i am new here and i been looking for something new to drink.. where would i find the to try ?

I bought some from bariatric eating online.  Haven't found any locally yet...still trying though.

I shipped 4 cases from Bariatriceating for less than 50 bucks.  Amberlee - if we lived closer I'd give you a bottle.

I found a place that sells them for 27.74 a case and the shipping is free on a $100 or more order. That's not too bad.

I got really excited for a minute.  Not that I would want to order $100 at once, but I figured some people on here wopuld all go in on some.  So I just went through the site and on the very bottom of the achiev page it says that it does not count towards the free shipping promotion

Thats a bummer...see, ya always gotta read the fine print! Sorry to get your hopes up!

Wonder if we could get GNC to carry them in Auburn or Windham if we all called to say we would purchase it. I have no idea if they are individually owned or not but wouldn't it be worth a try? I would buy if I could get it locally. I can't afford to pay the shipping fee or order $100 worth all at once
