ali-s Posted August 28, 2006 Share Posted August 28, 2006 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cate in NZ Posted August 28, 2006 Share Posted August 28, 2006 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.

ali-s Posted August 28, 2006 Share Posted August 28, 2006 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 Posted August 28, 2006 Share Posted August 28, 2006 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) Posted August 28, 2006 Share Posted August 28, 2006 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chelsea Posted August 28, 2006 Author Share Posted August 28, 2006 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) Posted August 28, 2006 Share Posted August 28, 2006 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chelsea Posted August 28, 2006 Author Share Posted August 28, 2006 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
