Warm boot recommendations please

Hi Laura!

 

I think it is about 6 weeks, but it might depend on if you order chickens or not.

 

Your best bet is to give Omlet HQ a call on Monday

[Steve.]

If they get a spare delivery slot then you could get bumped up.

 

It's worth the wait either way. My take was, I'd survived my life so far without a cube, a few weeks more would be okay!

[lisa33]

I was told 6 - 8 weeks but they managed to squeeze me in a bit earlier.

 

That was just for a cube on it's own with no chickens.

You should ring Omlet next week and ask them: we can only guess.

 

Spring and summer are their busiest times, so there will certainly be a wait. But if you are not fussy about colour, they may be able to get one to you more quickly if there is a sudden cancellation.

 

The fact that you are in Cornwall might make it faster, as it will come by courier and will not have to wait for a space on the Omlet van.

Mine will be exactly 6 weeks from when I ordered it to when it arrives.

 

Give them a ring on Monday and put your mind at rest, they are very helpful people and you don't have to commit there and then on the phone. I thought about it for a little while and then ordered it.

After months of thinking about it I ordered my cube a couple of weeks ago and was told 6 weeks for delivery. I asked about various options in the hope of getting it sooner, but was told it wouldn't make much difference whether I had it delivered by Omlet or by courier as they could fit me in at the same time. And colour didn't make a difference, as they make them the week before delivery.

We have purple cube on order, five weeks from order to delivery it would have been slightly quicker if it had come by courier but I was keen to have it built by the Omlet man

We are also in Cornwall, and ordered a cube about 3 weeks ago and were told September for delivery.

 

After reading a post on this forum I called recently and asked if there were any cancelations and they said YES and so it is coming next week. Apparently the green being most popular is easier to get a cancellation spot.

 

Call them regularly I say!!

 

Good luck

 

Where are you in Cornwall?

[oatley]

Hi Laura - we are in Penryn. You are very welcome to come and see our cube once it arrives (I am very excited). We have chicks due this weekend as well - I candled them and all 8 have chicks with movement on day 17 - so hopefully we should get a good quantity survive.

 

email me if you want to come down and see.

 

edit I have removed the email address from this post, best to use PM for email addresses - Christian - you will have to amend this - trying to avoid spam.

Ordered my cube yesterday, and was given a date of 17th September.

Im going to pick it up, not too sure if I trust nightfreight, as I live out

of omlets delivery area.

I will keep on ringing up to see if there is a cancellation, not sure if

that applies to non delivery cubes.

Ive ordered purple, if you order a popular colour I suppose theres more chance of a cancellation.

[AJuff]

I ordered a purple cube yesterday and it will be 7 weeks to delivery! 28th September!

 

I'm sure I can wait patiently . . .

Our purple cube came on Thursday, it is lovely. It was a long time since ordering, end of June. But I still have to be patient until our walk in run is built as I can not use it until then
