ali-s Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 So excited Being delivered on the 31st March. Phoned Omlet about reconditioned ones but none in stock. I dithered over ordering a reconditioned green cube a few weeks ago and now they have all gone. Being impatient I ordered a new . Now I have to break the news to Andy that the WIR extension is needed sooner that he thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thelurch Posted March 20, 2010 Share Posted March 20, 2010 Im just about to order a too. What is the usual timescale they give you with regard to how long delivery will take? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ali-s Posted March 20, 2010 Author Share Posted March 20, 2010 I was told delivery would be next wednesday 24th March but I put it back a week because I am on holiday then. Items tend to take a bit longer to be delivered up here and probably involves a couple of courier companies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have sent you a PM, I had replied to your PM but I have just found it sitting in my outbox. My fingers are crossed for the snow staying away. I have a feeling the Cube will be delivered today. My two Eglus were both delivered a day early. I am away to Auchnagatt this morning to collect 2 chickens so the Cube will no doubt arrive when I am out.

ali-s Posted March 31, 2010 Author Share Posted March 31, 2010 Today is the day It is not here yet We are in the grips of Winter storms yet again so I am not holding my breath that it will be delivered today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ali-s Posted March 31, 2010 Author Share Posted March 31, 2010 It is here Four enormous boxes are now sitting in the porch. Can't get out of the door now for the boxes. Four boxes seems a lot for just a cube ( I didn't order a run), is that the right amount? The Parcel force man said he delivered a cube last week to an address in town, he told me the name of the road. Is it wrong of me to want to drive down the street to find it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorimer73 Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 Yes four boxes is right, I got my orange cube on Monday! Just wait till you unpack it there will be bits everywhere. OH and I built ours on Monday night in the rain, it looks fab. Make sure you follow the instructions fully re screwing bolts loosely first and pushing panels as far as they will go then tighten screws, I used my cordless drill to do this. Also when you are putting the roof on, don't worry if it won't fit or there is a gap, you just need to adjust the runners a bit until it fits.

ali-s Posted March 31, 2010 Author Share Posted March 31, 2010 The cube won't get built until the weekend and Andy is around to help. I have had a peek in one on the boxes and I love the colour Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plum Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 Great news and yes you must spy for other cubes at all opportunities. Well I look for chickens whenever I can as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ali-s Posted April 3, 2010 Author Share Posted April 3, 2010 Andy built the cube this morning and it is now in the WIR. The WIR needs some modifications and then the cube will be placed on the outside. The cube is very big and very purple . Snowdrop and Daffodil have been up the ladder and had a nosey inside. I didn't realise there would be quite so much of a gap from the floor to the first rung of the ladder. I am a bit concerned about Bubbles. Her feet are not so good, if she were human she would have a zimmer frame and a Stanna stairlift. No way will she be able to manage the ladder so I will probably have to lift her into the Cube at night, hopefully she will be able to launch herself out in the mornings.

Tutti Frutti Posted April 3, 2010 Share Posted April 3, 2010 Aww congratulations! You made me laugh when you said about launching bubbles in the morning I pictured your chicken at first - but then something COMPLETELY different went through my mind Sooooooo... photographic evidence??? We're waiting!... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
