Angels4 Posted November 1, 2008 Share Posted November 1, 2008 The Cube should arrive in the US sometime in February 2009. I just ordered mine from Clare at the OmletUK. She called me to inform me.....I gues it's true what they say. "The squeeky wheel gets the oil." Fantastic news. Most important....what colour? My favorite color Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loopy12 Posted November 4, 2008 Author Share Posted November 4, 2008 I KNOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am sooooo excited!!!!!! I literally sat down to order one in the UK after a lengthy discussion with my mum and calling in favours from people in the US military - was going to get it posted...and by chance I glanced at the US website and saw the bulletin and nearly fainted, I swear!!! Have spent so many hours researching freight and postage and import tax etc...ahhhh... and Omlet were ignoring my emails and ahhhhh.... Soooo excited... I have just got off the phone with Claire and have ordered a PURPLE cube without run!!!!! EDD end of Jan... She said they're sending 30 units over, so hope lots of other people put in there orders so there's no chance of them cancelling shipment Sooo excited Am going to spend happy hours this evening looking out local breeders and deciding which chickens we want this time. I have so missed having chickens... Wooohoooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

loopy12 Posted November 6, 2008 Author Share Posted November 6, 2008 Yeah, we're already on the other side of the Atlantic...have been for about 6 weeks and probably here for good (if I ever get my green card sorted - otherwise I'll be back by xmas!!! ) I didn't sell my girls, just rehomed them with someone who'd lost all but one of her hens, a friend of a friend, who updates me occasionally, so its ok, they went to a good home. Suppose I should take them off my signature Do miss those little chicken faces outside the window and the company when you're hanging out the washing etc...very excited that we should have chickens again come spring...something to look forward to once the snow goes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

islandlady Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 Thank you . I am sure I'll love it. I am in Washington state in the USA. My cube will be part of the Jan/Feb shipment. I am guessing it will be another couple of weeks before it makes it across the country to me. Edited to say Hello everybody, good to be here.
