Eglu Go With 2m Run For Sale

[mole]

they are going to take 5 weeks to arrive

 

(ps had to have a green in the end not an orange (which i love) due to husband)

 

now, i could have it quicker without hens or i can go pick the whole lot up (1hr30mins each way) but i would have to put it all together on my own

 

hang tight for 5 weeks or go collect next week?

It would definitely be better to wait - then any assembly problems would be solved by those in the know. 5 weeks will pass soon enough.

 

However I also know I would not be able to wait!

[chick wiggle]

Nahh, Im sorry to put the cat amongst the pidgeons but I would definately go pick it up. I coulnt possibly wait 5 weeks! 5 weeks?

We put ours together ourselves and it really isnt that bad at all. If you allow yourself an hour and a half for assembly, but it wont take that long in reality. The instructions are very clear and precise.

Plus, if your getting your own chickens you will have more choice

Plus, ( ) what you save in delivery charges = another chicken

And you can't have too many chickens!

 

With my hen house I was asked to wait just one more weekend and I couldn't do it. I drove to the couriers depot and shoved it in my car - this was about 9pm after I'd put the children to bed.

 

The transport company thought I was mad but I just couldn't wait anymore.

 

So like I said earlier - it is best to wait, but I couldn't wait.

I would wait for omlet I think, like others have said omlet will assemble it for you, if there are any problems when doing this they will sort it for you.

 

Another thought is I bet they are not in your area before then, as its obviously in stock, I would tell them that should that shange you are requesting an earlier delivery. you never know they might find themselves there before they thought they would... now am I making sense? :lol:

[chick wiggle]

No! Cookie, your not making sense

Go get your cube Mole, its easy to put together, if i can do it, anyone can!

Plus, 5WEEKS!

[Cooks]

:lol:

 

*skulks off*

[Falkor]

Oooh exciting...a cube ordered!! but I would never be able to wait 5 weeks. As CW said FIVE WEEKS!!!???

 

I had my cube delivered by courier but I put it together myself (with the help of an electric screwdriver) I am a 28yr old shorty lady person who is fairly practical but as a general rule don't embark on DIY without a sensible adult present (and no forum friends, my dear OH does not fall into that catogory ).

 

If you search hard enough there is a thread showing my build of Gordon

 

I would be camping out at Omlet HQ waiting for them to open

 

My top tips for building the cube are: make sure your electric screwdriver is charged, build it on flat ground and have a nice drinky poos ready for when you complete it....or for the duration

[chick wiggle]

HA! Yeah, See? Thank you Em

*sticks tongue out at Cookie*

 

Oh dear, Mole is now wondering what sort of forum she has gone and got herself involved with!

[mole]

that was my reaction - 5 WEEKS!!

 

i want my cube and chickens now *stamps feet and throws a small tantrum*

 

if i phone them everyday do you think it'll get delivered sooner?

 

and dont worry chick wiggle i love this forum

[chick wiggle]

Phew, *breaths sigh of relief at not scaring Mole away*

[Falkor]

You could always pop to Cotswold Chickens on your way back from Omlet HQ

 

[chick wiggle]

Ooooo I like your thinking sergeant Falkor!

[Cooks]

[mole]

now that has thrown a spanner in the works

 

look at those lovely different chooks

[Plum]

I waited as long as that its only 840 hours.

 

840 hours the drive is 3 hours chicken maths GO AND GET IT

[Falkor]

Arhhhh the application of chicken maths is a wonderous thing Plum!!!

 

It is only 840 hours? not that you counted or anything

[Plum]

I have that many fingers and toes

[chick wiggle]

*ahem* We neeeed to know if a decision has been made yet!

[mole]

ha ha yes my decision making skills arent that good!! so this is what ive been thinking .....

 

 

i'll go and get it and do it all by myself BUT i'll have to take my 2yr old daughter with me for the journey and the putting it together also the chickens will have to stay in their travel containers until its all put together

 

or same as above but only get 4 chickens from omlet and get 2 different ones on way home from Cotswold Chickens

 

or i noticed that Cotswold Chickens sell cubes so i could get everything from them instead and save my self 40mins in the car but their chickens are £5 more expensive each which adds up to quite alot unless they do the same thing as omlet and charge less per chicken when buying a cube

 

hummmmmm

[sage]

Pick it up. It's really easy to put together.

[scarlettohara]

They told me 3 weeks for my cube when I ordered then rang and changed it to 5 weeks (due to driver holiday) so I had a tantrum and they delivered it on the original date

[snowcloud]

Shocked by this - ordered my cube yesterday and waiting to hear back on when it might get delivered... sounds like it will be a long while . Not sure I could wait for 5 weeks...

 

I want the now... I would probably drive to get it too if it meant waiting that long... will someone call me to let me know when it will be delivered? It was 5 years ago we bought our Eglu and can't remember the process!!

 

Thanks for the confidence to try to build it ourselves!!!

[chick wiggle]

Im glad you've decided to pick it up, you couldnt possibly wait 5 weeks, well i couldnt anyway .

As for the chickens, why not give Cotswold chickens a ring and see if they will do a deal with you getting a cube from them my guess is they probably will do.

Thanks for letting us know, now let us know what you decide to do again
