Is Species VANILLA PB out of stock completely?

[NPCKnight]

It seems a few warehouses around the USA can not get restocked. What is the deal? Are you not making anymore til 4lb tubs come out? When is that? I want vanilla PB!

[2hot4u]

we got some from bodybuilding.com or check www.usasport.com and i am not sure about when it will be available in 4lb we would have to find out from Joel. but of course once dave gets it back in stock i will order from his website!!! just spreading the love lol

[STACEYK]

I heard from Joel that it will be available in 2 weeks the 4llb VPB

[gooseklr]

ShweeeeT!!!!!!!

I have called species directly and they have none until the 4lb tubs come out...usa sports is out for 6 weeks.

[robofsteel]

We should have the 4lb tub in stock in 2 weeks. The 2lbers will be about 5 weeks. As soon as we have them I will let everyone know. Sorry for the delay everyone!

[NPCKnight]

Are the 4lb tubs shipping to warehouses yet?

[robofsteel]

The 4lbers are Not available yet. We should have them in about 2 weeks. Sorry guys.

[IronFlex]

oh man this is tough, the pb vanilla is in hot demand right now.

[Pierce88]

Its killin me I might have 2 scoops left in my tub

[NPCKnight]

The 4lbers are Not available yet. We should have them in about 2 weeks. Sorry guys.

You said that 2 weeks ago. :no:

[GRAVESY]

i wanted to try it. next time, next time, sounds tastey

[IronFlex]

You said that 2 weeks ago. :no:
yeah man i just got the line for usa sports that they dont have an eta on 4lbs except that 2lbs are supposed to be back on the 25th :( this is far to long imo.

[Piotr Rasputin]

Looks like I need to try this flavor as well!

[NPCKnight]

ROB.....any chance we can get an updated ETA? (accurate would help too)

[IronFlex]

Last i heard it was the 25th for 4lbs but that may not be accurate...im interested to know too Rob.

[robofsteel]

Don't hold me to this date, but Oct. 26th it should be hitting the Species Warehouse. If anything changes I will let you guys know.

[Jhayward]

Can't wait to finally try this stuff!

[robofsteel]

Don't kill the messenger! I can only feed you the info that is given to me by our supplier!

[NPCKnight]

This is a big fuck up. I have been waiting(by choice) for over 4 weeks now on VANILLA PB Isolyze.
Waiting on the 4 lb containers.....or 2 lb. Like I give a shit. but whoever's idea it was to RUN OUT of 2lbs containers and not have MORE 2 lb or the 4lbers ready...well lets just say it was not smart.
I am pissed off to say the least.

[beezy13]

I feel your pain man. You should just buy PB and Vanilla from True Protein and mix it yourself. Thats what I did, just got tired of waiting and it ended up being cheaper.

[NPCKnight]

beezy i have thought of it. how does it compare to the 'original'? or have you not tried that before?

[robofsteel]

This was a big Fuck up. We didnt do it on purpose! I dont like to pass the buck but we ordered the product in plenty of time, the manufacturer failed on their end. I take the heat everyday for being out of the VPB but it comes with the job!!! lol

[Pierce88]

So it isn't some secret scheme to make everyone go effin nuts to get more sales? You guys obv got a lot goin on wid that VPB switch and everybody waitin for Crealyze...lol I bought a tub of ATW cuz choc species just dont do it for me...Come november I want a damn 4lb PB Translucent Green tub on my porch

[nitrous]

i got some a couple weeks ago from bodybuilding.com

[beezy13]

NPC, it is not exactly like the original but its pretty damn close and you know it won't be outta stock. the PB flavor is very light and creamy so I adjust the ratio based on how I want it go taste. The last time I got it I used a little more PB than Van and it tasted pretty good to me, certainly good enough to hold you over until the species stuff comes in.

[Youngguns]

You said that 2 weeks ago. :no:
I thought you were too poor to afford it? :dunno:

[NPCKnight]

Mind your business youngguns.
There was no talk of being too poor..you must have confused yourself with my situation. I simply have stated in summation that is just not a good buy.
The taste was worth shelling out some money and I have a good dealer who takes care of me. You do the math if you are smart enough to figure it all out.

So you have a sugar daddy?

Vanilla PB for G4P is pretty low dude... just go to trueprotein.com...

[NPCKnight]

Just be quiet and dont address me or my posts. why not try contributing something worth a damn to this board?

[NPCKnight]

Rob....how is the ETA looking at this point? Still on track?

[robofsteel]

I am getting a definite date soon. I dont want to post any updates until I know when we will have it in hand!!! Don't hold me to it but I heard the middle of next week sometime. As soon as its in our warehouse I will let everyone know! Thanks for asking!

[JG1]

So let me get this straight. No one has 2lb tubs of vanilla pb? I'm down to my last tub and need to order.

[robofsteel]

Eva's Supplements in NYC has it. They bought a ton of it when it was in stock. Their number is 212-982-2500. Ask them to ship it to you! I just found this out or I would have posted sooner!

[Cooker]

Can we pre-order it? I just want to make sure I can get some ASAP. Thanks.

[robofsteel]

Sorry Cooker, we don't take pre-orders. As soon as I have it here in the warehouse I will post it, I promise. We shouldnt have this problem again with it being Out of Stock! I have been pretty good since Ive been posting to get people answers ASAP, right NPC Knight?

[GRAVESY]

I just got the 2lb of Van PB from ProSource, arrived Tuesday. ;)

[NPCKnight]

Update?

[robofsteel]

No new news sorry Knight. I will make some calls on Tuesday. If I hear anything I will post it here! CREALYZE is in though. LOL

[NPCKnight]

Yes Rob I appreciate it. But PLEASE let us know when your SUPPLIER pulls their head out of their fucking ass. Or please get a new, reliable supplier because people who refuse to understand the situation would only think you guys are the ones that can't get your act together.

[Youngguns]

lol, go to isolyze anonymous.

[robofsteel]

We are in the process of looking for a 2nd source of protein. It takes months for them to match the flavoring system so it does take time. I will give an update later today.

[IronFlex]

any word?

[robofsteel]

Nov. 6th it should be in our warehouse! Sorry thats all I have for now!!!!

[IronFlex]

i love the "should" lol, def get a new supplier. i hope your not paying them good money for this lack of service your getting. If it was me i would drop them in heart beat.

[Cooker]

Still looking like tomorrow??????

[flaccid_member]

Yes Rob I appreciate it. But PLEASE let us know when your SUPPLIER pulls their head out of their fucking ass. Or please get a new, reliable supplier because people who refuse to understand the situation would only think you guys are the ones that can't get your act together.

NPCKnight, to be fair and defend Rob, I know what all of you are going through. When I was sponsored, part of my duties were to pick up protein directly from the manufacturer. More times than not, the protein wasn't ready. Why?

1: These companies/manufacturers make their $ on volume. So another company that orders more volume than Dave's will be put in the forefront. Crappy? Yes. Unfortunately, it's the reality.
2: They screw up.
3: Supply and demand. There is a demand for cheaper, crappier protein out there.
4: When you're a smaller company starting out, these manufacturers require a minimum order. To say that vanilla peanut butter would sell as great as it has is an understatement. And the manufacturers require smaller companies to pay upfront.
5: To keep overhead lower and quality consistent, it's best to stick with one company. Obviously, as you get bigger you could consider expanding to another manufacturer, but it can obviously backfire.

Look, sometimes the grass isn't always greener on the other side. You can go with a lesser quality protein, but you do get what you pay for. I have seen firsthand how expensive quality protein is. Remember when gas was $4-$5/gallon and the whole diseased cow thing was happening? It's all relative.

You all have a right to feel how you feel. Think about how we feel and felt having to justify losing business and potential business. Believe me, I'm sure they're doing the best that they can. Unfortunately, it's out of their hands sometimes. :mad:

Something is wrong with adding the Vanilla PB to the shopping cart on the Species site. I keep getting an error.

Good eye, Cooker. Rob, any news on that error on the Species website? It's when we order the 4lb containers. :confused:

[IronFlex]

when are you sending to your distributors?

[robofsteel]

I will have to find out the error. Distributors are getting orders shipped as soon as they send an order over.
