Solitary chicken - need advice

[chelsea]

well, I did it - persuaded hubby to order a new lovely new eglu....I pestered and pestered and in the end he caved in just to shut me up!!

 

ok - how long roughly will I wait to receive it - I already have my chickens in the garden -

 

Im dreaming eglu's at the moment - its all I think about from the time I get up to the time I go bed.....

 

Is this a serious condition im suffering from?!...I need help!

[Martin B]

When I was waiting for my eglu I was exactly the same!

 

[chelsea]

I think thats why hubby gave in - he knows I have a problem - he thought by saying "yes" order it he thought I would be quiet,....I have a permanent grin!

 

my girls had their 1st raisins today....and they loved em.

Mine took a week to arrive. It was delivered a day early A nice surprise for my OH who was sleeping after a night shift

[Cate in NZ]

I'm not sure to be honest. I'd guess that Devon's out of their delivery area, in which case it'll be delivered to you via courier or Royal Mail (I'm not sure what service they use ).

With Omlet's own delivery service the delay is generally because they like to get a days load of deliveries in the same general area, but I think they're normally within the 28 days. Each time they've been considerably quicker than that for me.

If you're not waiting for a delivery driver to visiting your area it's likely to be quite a bit quicker. Why not give them a ring and ask... they're a very friendly bunch and will definitely give you an idea of when to expect it to arrive.

Good luck, I do hope that you don't have to wait to long.

Omlet gave me a date for delivery when I ordered my Eglu. I am outside the Omlet delivery area.

 

A courier was delivering and could not tell me what time it would arrive. I booked a day off work, which I still took even though it arrived early.

[Guest]

Same here Ali - Omlet phoned and confirmed the delivery date a couple of days before it was due to arrive, so I arranged to be in all day. Went out the day before it was due, and arrived home to a large box waiting for me, with a rather bemused neighbour who had signed for it!

 

[Mel (& Paul)]

Yup we were out of the delivery area too - so it arrived, bang on time by courier (the same chap that delivers our wine........I think he thought the HUGE box was full of wine ) We went and collected our second one ourselves and the third one was also delivered bang on time (different driver this time - phew!)

Give them a call they should give you a date.

[chelsea]

thanks guys - its gives me a general idea.

 

I hope it comes within a month as we go on holiday at the end of September and the girls are going over their auntie's in their eglu.

[Mel (& Paul)]

last June, when we got our first eglu it took about a month. But this July when we got our third one it only took about a week

[chelsea]

lets hope for their sake and my husband's sake omlet deliver pretty quickly, as I will be pestering them nicely on the phone if it takes any longer than 3 weeks!

[Mel (& Paul)]

oh, they're used to people nagging them - just dont mention my, ClareT or Buffies names
